Rocky Mountain Mule Days

Silver Bullet, $5300.00 consigned by Levi King. He was the high selling mule at Rocky Mountain Mule Days. Loren's mule, Lucy, shown above being ridden by the granddaughter of Wes and Judy Coffel, sold for $4700.00. She was the second high selling mule. The mule in the picture with Lucy is Izzy. She sold for $3000.00. She is being ridden by Judy Coffel. The mule at the top was Luke Bailey's mule. He sold for $3500.00. The majority of the good mules did not sell for as much as they should have.

Here are just a couple pictures of Loren at the Rocky Mountain Mule Days in Eagle, Colorado. Over the next few days I will add more pictures and the videos of his runs with Jewel.

Scenes from Sweetwater

Sweetwater Lake

Loren and I along with Randy and Vickie Gibbs have been at the Sweetwater Lake trail riding for the last couple days. It was beautiful. We really didn't want to come down the mountain to go to the Rocky Mountain Mule Days. It's a beautiful spot for trail riding and only cost us $36.00 for the camping. An amazing deal at any price!!!!
We will be at the Rocky Mountain Mule Days until Saturday. We arrived at Eagle only to find that the rules to the Xtreme Mule Challenge had changed. This is a business and as such any rule changes should have been given to the competitors at the time of entry. From what I understand they have gone from giving 3 saddles (Xtreme Mule Challenge winner, rodeo winner and High Selling Mule) to just 2 saddles. They have combined the Xtreme Mule Challenge and Rodeo saddle.

There will be a special benefit team roping and silent auction at the Rocky Mountain Mule Day event on Thursday for Steve King. Steve King was hurt while team roping in Bishop over Memorial Day and is still in intensive care in Reno, NV. If you are in the area, please stop and attend. This was Steve King last year at the Rocky Mountain Mule Day Extreme Mule Race.
