Sheila the Mule

Since I now have a picture of Sheila, figured I'd share it with you. :) Also, that is Sunny the QH gelding in the background.

A bit on Sheila's personality: Sheila is a younger-ish-middle-aged mule, with brown (E-/AtAt) coloration. She's a mare that'll test you. Oftentimes when you go into her field, she'll come at a hasty trot towards you, with her ears slightly back. The feeling you get is quite similar to being herded, I believe. However, if you just stand there or continue walking and ignore her, she'll (usually, just a warning) leave you alone.

She really is a sweet mare though, after she's had her feed. If she's not eating when we're cleaning out the barn, she'll come up to the door (unfortunately for her, there's a single chain blocking the passageway) and just watch. And she doesn't mind being petted on either.

A bit on Sunny's personality: Sunny is just...Sunny! He's an older red dun Quarter Horse gelding, and is pretty laid back. Usually he's not near as active as Sheila is, and not as inquisitive either. He seems like a really sweet boy, though. I like him. :)
