Maynard's Miss Sheba Buckskin Mule! Maynards Miss Sheba, the Houghton family’s multi-talented buckskin mule, trained by Julie Kennedy, is one of the "winningest" and versatile mules in the country. When this pretty, golden molly isn't babysitting the young stock at their first shows or learning new under-saddle skills, she is busy sweeping up every international and national mule championship possible. A tall 15.2 hands, Sheba has excelled achieved World Championships and National Championships in categories ranging from Halter and Trail to Dressage, Western Pleasure, Reining, Hunter Hack, and Under Saddle. Add to that her other titles in the North American Saddle Mule Association, including the all-important High-Point Mule title, not just once, but won three times over, and her stack of Superiors in a variety of categories. Sheba doesn't want to stop there, apparently, because she has also nabbed the High-Point awards at the Missouri All-Star Show, and has stood Grand Champion Halter Mule at Bishop Mule Days, the Houston Livestock Show, and the International Livestock Exposition, among many others. With all these accolades, you might expect Sheba to want some quiet time when at home, yet she is always eager to go out on trail rides and she enjoys working cattle. Sheba's multi-faceted talents have made her a top ambassador of the mule world, and she has given treasured memories to all who see her in the spotlight.
