Ginger

Ginger is a small, but very cute mule. She was rescued in March 2008 along with four others who were living in a junkyard. After torrential rainstorms, they were forced to stand in water 24/7 and the owner refused to move them to a dry location. They were all literally standing in a pond with no where dry to lay down. In addition, they were always getting out (I don't blame them). We were finally forced to seize them and when taken before a judge, we were awarded custody of all five of them. Ginger has been adopted twice and returned to us. The first time she was returned, it was because her owner, who also had Maggie (more on her tomorrow), was moving and had no where to keep them at her new home. The second return was because Ginger who is very herd bound said that the barn manager could not lead her to the barn without her bolting back to her buddies! Oh well, the old saying is true, mules are stubborn. But this mule is so sweet! As long as she is close to her pasture buddies, she is very content. Lately, we have been working with her to stop her bolting; hopefully we'll have good news to report on that at a later date.
