Analog Kid,
OK.
FYI, I'm looking for a fast/smooth gaited SADDLE DONKEY or MULE that is BIG/STRONG ENOUGH to carry 185 pounds of me, plus saddle/tack, canteens, bedroll, carbine/scabbard & other misc. stuff OR about 250 pounds all day for trail-riding & big-game hunting..= Probably an animal of .over 13 hands & 800 pounds minimum.
yours, satx
