It’s National Mule Day!

When you think of stagecoaches, horses might come to mind, but mules were also a common sight along the Santa Fe Trail. Their endurance, agility, and adaptability made them well suited for pulling coaches and wagons.

Our resident mules, Percy and Penny, have recently started following in their ancestors’ footsteps by pulling the stagecoach during field trip season.

Introducing the Mahaffie Skills School!

Every few months, we’ll be hosting a themed workshop series. Our first series, Backyard Livestock, will take place on Saturdays in November.

In this series of hands-on workshops, you’ll learn the basics of handling and caring for common livestock animals and have the chance to practice your skills with Mahaffie staff. No animal experience is required. Sign up for one workshop or all four!

Please note that due to the hands-on nature of the workshops in this series, participants must be 18 or older.
