I would like to thank Dora, Smokey, and Pumpkin for the great experiences that I have had riding.  This is my first year of riding, and Dora has been so patient with teaching me the ins and outs of mules...  everything from saddling my mule to staying on when a turkey flies up in front of Pumpkin!!  "The safest place is on your mule." Thanks for the words of wisdom, Dora!
