We became interested in quality mules and Percheron draft horses listening to granddad A.N. "Ott" Gamble
relate stories of trading and selling train carloads of mules and draft horses with farmers in East Texas. Granddad, at 13 years of age, drove
freight wagons from Floydada, Texas, to Amarillo, Texas and back by himself. He would camp out at night on the wild plains
As a child, Jim Gamble would ride mules in the New Mexico mountains. Maria Gamble had her encounters with mules in central Mexico. |
| Our mule stock is raised gentle, out of top quality quality Appaloosa mares, and sired by a large standard Jack - selected for his
ability to produce mules with exceptionally refined quality heads. |
