Ponies have put more smiles on the faces of children over the centuries than video games ever will! I had one named Jocco. He carried me the mile up Harvey's Ridge Road to Mrs Wheelers country store several times. He also put a knot or two on my head by bucking me off when he didn't want to go!

This beautiful team of Suffock Punch draft horses are from Berea College. They are an integral part of their sustainable timber harvesting program on the college's forest.

Mules are a hybrid between a male donkey and a female horse. They are very durable, smart and of course, very stubborn.

Note: A previous version of this cutline had the hybrid genders reversed. Billy Joe says, "I did actually state the parents of a mule backwards. Thanks to the folks for fact-checking my post."
