I bought this mule as a yearling and showed her at Halter her 1-2yr old years. She made 4th overall for the year-end 2yr old at Halter. Icing even placed 1st out of 15 mules in a Traveling Qualities Class in 05′ at Bishop Mule Days! I lightly started her her 3-4 yr old year and just not had much time since. We pulled her from pasture this year and started riding her again. She is AWESOME! She remembers everything, but has now matured and is happy to be back to work. She is good about everything on the ground…feet, clippers, trailer, etc. She is even trained to lay down on cue and lunges like a horse! Icing is good on trail and has had good arena training. She is solid Walk-trot and learning her leads, currently schooling W/J Cowboy Dressage. Rides in a Hackamore or snaffle, does trail obstacles and really just wants to be your best friend. You will never find another mule this fancy AND friendly! Her sire is a proven Jack, Cowboy’s Picasso and her Dam is a proven Halter few-spot Appaloosa Mare. This particular pairing has produced MANY nice colored mules. I believe Icing is the first Mule from this cross. She is a great size at 14.3 hands and about 900lbs. I am hoping to find her a Mule Savvy home with someone that would like to do a little showing and tons of riding/camping! I simply do not have time to ride all of mine and do not do enough with mules these days to justify keeping her to myself. In training until sold.

hi, price on Icing, please. karen
I am asking $6000. She was purchased at a baby for almost that!
Just wanted to say I really like the looks of this mule. I like mules but rarely do I think they are attractive.
Man I’m really loving this mule wish I had the money….
would u go any lower on the price
To the right home, yes I would. I really want to see her go to a mule home with he right people. Yo have to realize that before the market crashed, this mule was $5k as a baby…we got her for a bit less, but I have put a lot of time on her since.
She is beautiful, looks like she would be a nice show mule and trail mule on the side! I’ve been showing and raising donkeys for years, and had a nice retired mule that I used on trails and she was the Best ever! Would love to have her, but as you said the market and economy has really put a crunch in my life, I have been able to keep what I have, but not add any more to what I already have. She is pretty, hope you find the right home for her!
Where is she located?
Arroyo Grande California
Is she still available? I have raised appys my whole life and have wanted a long ears with color for a long time. I just dont have the time to raise one and bring it to the level that this gal is at. I am very active with my animals. We do western riding of all sorts from barrel racing to packing into the Bob Marshall. Would love to add her to my string, but again as you stated the economy has put a crunch on things. Would you consider any trading?
What do you offer to trade? I really would like the money, but would consider it for the right things?
well lets see, I do have a some younger stock that are just sitting for lack of time. A 3 yr old tri leopard gelding with blue eyes ( no vision issues), very flashy but on the lazy side. An eight year old red dun 1/4 draft gelding nice size again on the lazy side, been to the China Wall in the Bob Marshall. A 6yr old barrel bred mare that is well started but not patterned yet. SIre is Hill’s Dash to Vegas. A 30/06 rifle, a 12G shotgun, lots of shop equipment etc. ANYTHING in particular you are in search of?
Hi, is Icing still in your care?
Yes, she is and still being ridden regularly. She is a doll!
I really can’t keep looking at Icing pictures. Do you still have her. I own 1 mule right now, but do alot of trail competitions, trail riding, small trail and arena shows and big crowds and alot of new things all the time make her nervous and am looking for something I can compete on and work together with.
I do still have her…we want her to have the perfect home! Maybe you are it? When can you come and see her? Thanks, Krista
I live in Eastern Oregon. Can you tell me what part of California you are in?
San Luis Obispo County…I live in Arroyo Grande.
