Photo of the Day – Legging up Mules Brick and Cracker

My mules Brick, Cracker, and I plan to head out on a short mule ramble in a few weeks, so that means we're all getting in shape. In this photo, Brick (L) and Cracker are catching their breaths at the top of the mountain behind our house. This photo was taken during one of our recent training rides. Brick is carrying the riding saddle, and Cracker is wearing the pack saddle, which is loaded up with some of the gear I plan to use on our trip.
