I made this card for my neighbors. Their horse and our burro had a baby mule two days ago. It is the prettiest baby - it has long legs like its mother (the horse) and coloring like her father. She has the characteristic cross on her back that all Jerusalem Burros have. This was an unplanned baby but we are all happy about it.

Cool card! I am a country girl at heart! Lived on a farm for awhile, so the mule thing is quite familiar! Great image! I may have to find it myself if I can!

I'm sure this is a very happy occasion! I have seen some beautiful mules...most of them entered in horse shows! Doesn't make some of the horse owners happy, but whatever! I keep thinking we need to get a burro to keep our cows company (we only have 2) and I hear they are good protection from the coyotes. My neighbor has horses....hmmmmm... Bet that isn't what she has planned for her mare.
Anyway...enough of my rambling!! Cool image!! May have to go looking for this one as we have so many horses in my area. The county actually claims to be the horse capital of the world. Lots of equestrian programs for kids and this is such a great image for that!! Thanks for sharing your awesome card!!

Congrats on the new four legged one. Your card is awesome. Love the western theme with that wonderful horse and cowboy. I spent many a summer at the stables hanging out with the horses. What a blast I had. Love your card. Brought back sweet memories for me. TFS :0)
