MULE COUNTRY: High Country Lakes (S1 EP6)

With temperatures in the 90's it was time to ride into the high country and find a nice lake to cool off in!
Come along as we explore some new country, and find a beautiful high country lake all to ourselves.
We cool off and enjoy the scenery with our mules before heading back down to the trail head in the evening.
We have plans to drop some new merch! with that we will be discontinuing a few designs so buy one while you still can!

Thank you for the continued support and positivity you all are amazing! :)

    You guys do the greatest rides. Sooo pretty. Thanks for taking us along. I figure it was much steeper than it appeared in the video according to the pace of the mules. I can't do these kind of things anymore, so I'm soooo happy to have found you. 🥰

    You guys are great, keep doing it. Just a comment though you can tell me I am all wet if you want. The Lake you are at is in my back yard and one that I ride into often . Most mountain lakes are great fisheries and the spawing beds more tines than not are towards the outlet , when you ride your mules into the Lake you could be damaging the next crop of fish. Just something to consider. When I have riders go with me into Idaho lakes it is understood from the start no one rides Into the lake...have a great day !

    Beautiful ride - took no energy on my part 😉 Lovely country. Like it when you showed the dun the bridge guess its a new experience. Considerate rider ( savvy ).. Did you start the dun? I use to see bridges in WA like that but real high up - no side rails. I'm timid about heights. I was on a young MFT horse - she took it better than I did.

    Haha thank you! We didn’t start the dun but we purchased her knowing she had some things that needed worked on. She wouldn’t cross water, mud or bridges when we bought her. She was hard to catch and very leery of people. She’s come a long ways in the last two years but bridges are still a little unnerving to her. She’s trying and we will continue to be patient though 🙂 haha yes we aren’t big on heights either!!

    This is! ☺️ it was about 66 degrees up there and the water was pretty cold. There was still now up in the rocky ledges above the lake lol. Some mules don’t mind bridges, but they are weird to them at first. I think it’s mostly the hollow thudding noise that gets to Reata. They didn’t want to swim, we were hoping they would but it may have been too cold. The ride was about 6 hours but that’s with stopping at the lake for a while! They were just being cautious on the rocks ☺️ it was way steeper than in looked and a little slick on the rocks. Mules handle that stuff really well and pick their way carefully. It would! Most of the trails are too narrow but we will try that when we can ☺️ thank you!!
