Vic,
We are so proud of you and your accomplishments with your fine Rancho Santiago Mule “Ruby” at the Bishop show. A fine mule in a real mule man's hands is wonderful.

I remember our email exchanges as you were trying to purchase Ruby. I was very pleased that this young very talented and beautiful mule got away from the fool that bought her. Thankfully Ruby went to you, a man that can appreciate really good mules. You shared some pictures of how Ruby had matured and grown out in your care ... she looked great. I distinctly remember that origional buyer because he came to the ranch and rode her for several days. Weeks after the buy he called me screaming over the phone that this was a bad mule because “his wife rode her out of the corral and in the hills for hours with no problems, but when she returned from her desert ride the stupid mule would not even go out of the corral gate when he rode her ...” and so on... of course blame the mule since he did not have a clue, but he could have taken lessons & got a clue as he promised.
