Mule Gelding for Sale in Shepherd, MT
Chief is a 3‑year‑old, 15.3hh Rocky Mountain John Mule with an exceptional mind, a calm disposition, and a professional foundation that sets him apart from typical young mules. He has completed 6 full weeks of professional training, in addition to consistent daily handling, which has given him confidence, responsiveness, and maturity.
He is soft in the bridle, willing under saddle, and shows the kind of thoughtful, steady temperament that makes Rocky Mountain mules so desirable. Chief walks, trots, and lopes with balance and relaxation, moves off leg and rein cues, and rides out alone or with others and stays level‑headed in new environments.
On the ground, Chief is respectful, easy to catch, and enjoys attention. He leads, ties, loads, picks up all four feet, and stands quietly for grooming and saddling. His professional training included groundwork refinement, trail riding, exposure to obstacles, and under‑saddle development — all of which he handled with a willing, intelligent attitude.
Chief has been introduced to arenas, round pens, trails, water, logs, dogs, cats, kids, cattle, traffic, and ranch noise. He approaches obstacles with curiosity rather than fear and shows every sign of becoming a dependable trail partner. He is an easy keeper, gets along well with other horses and mules, and has no vices.
This is a young mule with true potential — the kind that matures into a versatile, trustworthy partner for trail riding, ranch work, or pleasure riding. With his professional start, excellent mind, and natural ability, Chief is positioned to be a standout prospect for anyone looking for a quality mule with years of partnership ahead.
