Mimi's progress….
Posted by on Sep 10, 2009 in Association News, Donkeys, Rescues | 1 commentThis week we started the backing process on ERF mule, Mimi.
So far so good…..she’s accepted saddle plus crupper, bridle with bit, long reins and tonight I lent over her for a few seconds. We are thrilled she is turning from a mule with ‘Attitude’ into a sweet little mule at long last!
Anyone interested in adopting Mimi can contact admin@equinerescuefrance.org , there is more info on Mimi on the rehoming page of our website.

getting the hang of long reining

Getting used to having someone above her

"Err....why are you standing on a box??"

Accepting some weight in the saddle...

Making sure Mimi knows I'm on the other side too!

A bit more weight on her back....

Wahay! A few steps with my full weight on her back!
