1986 Tennessee Walking Mule

Dixie at 3 months of age with her Tennessee Walking Horse mother
____________________________________________________________

I bought Dixie "sight unseen".
She was bred by George France of Peace River, Alberta.
George was passing through  in August 1986
and spent a day or two in Quesnel.
He was the President of the
Canadian Donkey and Mule Assoc. at that time,
and I was the Registrar, (hence our "connection").

When George was visiting me, he showed me some photos
of some of his animals.
One of the subjects in his photos was a little molly mule,
still with her dam.  She was un-named at that time,
and George wanted to sell her.
As I looked at the pictures, I asked how much he wanted for her.
He told me a ridiculously low figure and added
that he would deliver her from Peace River, Alberta
for that price.

How could I refuse?
I paid him a small deposit and anxiously awaited
my new little mule's arrival.

She arrived after a long day in the trailer with her mother
(who was also going to a new home, further south of Quesnel).
I worked hard to establish trust with the baby mule...
she was a sensitive little creature.
I named her Dixie, since she was from a
Tennessee Walking Horse mare.

I kept her till she was three...
then she was sold to her new owner who lives near Barriere, BC.
