New twins cause stir in horse community Twin mare mule foals were born May 29, 2012. One's black with a blaze face, the other the reddish color of a white tail deer fawn Click on headline for full story with photo(s) By Ed Waggener Twin mare mules, one red and one black, have caused quite a stir in the horse community of Adair County. The births were a surprise, at least to Connie and son Barry Stotts, on Tuesday, May 29, 2012, when the first one was seen trailing behind his father, Stan the Man, and a bigger surprise when the second one was seen nursing their mother, registered Walking Horse, Judie, a few minutes later. Junior Stotts, however, was able to say, "I told you so." He had said all along that Jackie would be giving birth. The others said, "No, she's just getting fat." But twins were a surprise even for Junior Stotts. "I've been told by both Charles Shirley and Andy Withers that the odds of having two mare mule foals make it a really rare thing," Stotts said. The now two day old little mules are now staying at Andy Withers' Hot City Stables on the north side of town, under the watch care of their mother and Charles Shirley. Stotts said he came by the father, Stan the Man, after Stan had the equine starring role in the Kelleyville Community Church Christmas play. "The owner gave him to the church and said he could be kept or given away, and we took him," Stotts said. "The owner had said he was gentle enough for a small child to ride, and we found that to be true."' The little jack was taken to Stotts' farm between Miss Victoria and Miss Gertrude's spreads in Greater Bliss. He immediately became a romantic favorite with the lady horses, Stotts said. And it was a tryst with the registered Walking Horse mare which yield the two longlegged, bushy tailed twin foals. Already the adorable little animals have a fan club. Pastor Stanley Watson has paid homage, along with Keith Blakey. Stotts said he wouldn't be surprised if the story goes statewide - even national. To make a long story short, he said, he wouldn'tbe surprised if the Lexington Herald doesn't pick up on the story, and maybe, he said, even CNN will carry the story. Neither would we. Junior Stotts couldn't be happier if his best political friend, Steve Beshear, were to become President, or if he and son Barry won a contract to relay all the water pipe in Kentucky. -Ed Waggener, CM This story was posted on 2012-05-31 08:21:28
