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.
