Diamond Lil living in Las Cruces

Jun 18 2009

OK Men..... Here's the finest mule in Dona Ana County jumping a fence with STYLE!!!!!! You have to look real close to see her right hind hoof....it is just above the fence! This gal can tuck those legs. Oh...vet came (no microchip, she didn't have the 'gun'). Lil never wiggled until the 3rd shot when she just tensed up briefly, then just relaxed! The vet was amazed at Lil's beauty and demeanor. She even gave me a hug of congratulations for picking such a fine mule!!!

Warm regards, Latana

OK, Gents.....here's the last "serial e-note" from a very proud and happy Latana. I'm sure that after our first "billy goat" experience I'll write again....

Tacked her up this morning, rode across the arena, did a U turn and went off down the trail. Asked for slow, fast, whoa, reverse, stand, dismounted and tightened girth, went over ditches, logs, was attacked by dogs, passed a huge flatbed, rabbits were running amok as they do....and Diamond Lil never NEVER NEVER did a wrong thing. She "whoa'd" by voice, she steers beautifully now that I do it the way she's been trained. No speeding up as we turned towards home.

In short, she is everything that you said she was and that I hoped she'd be. I love this mule gal. Thanks for putting up with my 8 million questions!!

Warm regards,

Latana, Tom, Patriot, Lil, and Nacho (who pushes Lil around)
