For the second edition of the annual event organized by the Mule Qui Peut association, things are changing a bit. No more MMO/RMMO: the two categories are now combined in a single event: "The Muletier Challenge." This year, we opened the doors to non-professionals, and some very attractive profiles came forward. So, seven of them are participating, all on a voluntary basis, simply for the love of mules. Nice, right?
If you have Facebook, you can follow them according to a well-defined schedule. If you don't have access to it, don't panic: the videos are also available on the YouTube channel.
Le programme peut être sujet à des variations au gré de l'aventure humaine.
Juliette, aka Ju Micamb, is a behaviorist with a passion for donkeys, mules, and hinnies. Level 4 certified in the LIMA method.
Her professional page: Les Sabotés - mule, donkey, and equine behaviorist.
She will offer a different perspective on mule care with Athos, a young, intact mule in need of rehabilitation.
Athos, a handsome 5-year-old mule, has already moved homes four times, without success. He has now ended up with Juliette. An interesting couple to follow.
Iloa, the youngest member of the Muleter Challenge, is 18 years old and already very talented!
Her activity: equestrian shows with her long ears, a donkey, and two small mules.
She participates in the Challenge with Laslo, a young 4-year-old mule, the result of a meeting between a wandering donkey and a Highland mare. Laslo lived wild and untouched for his first three years and was castrated a month before the Challenge.
No method, just intuition and experience.
A wonderful encounter between these two!
Julien grew up surrounded by horses, trained from a young age by his mother, an instructor in the Republican Guard and a dedicated eventer. Not particularly drawn to competition, he quickly turned to outdoor riding. His trip to the United States allowed him to discover Western riding and horsemanship (buckaroo), completing a Parelli course and eventually becoming an instructor. BPJEPS
Extremely skilled, Julien manages his ranch alone, but he is also very discreet. Following a meeting with a colleague, he had the opportunity to work with several mules, enriching his experience.
This year, he joined the ChaLenge Muletier with Kalypso, a mule with a difficult past. Taking the time necessary to establish a trusting relationship, he will use his valuable expertise to support Kalypso in this new phase.
Julie, aka Amazone Lune, is another must-see in the Mulardie region! If you don't know her yet, you'll soon!
A breeder, teacher, illustrator, and passionate about scientific ethology, it is with great pleasure that we welcome her to the ChaLenge Muletier. Respect, empathy, kindness, humor, and a touch of firmness are the tools she uses to work with Métisse and Vampette, her faithful longtime companions.
Her official ChaLenge partner will be Merlin, a young mule belonging to Nathalie Rami (Élevage des Grandes Zoreilles), who will be entrusted to her starting in June. In the meantime, she will put her two beloved mules back to work and share her valuable experience with you alongside them.

Camille, our discreet, down-to-earth athlete, rooted in the mountains, spends the winter on the ski slopes where she teaches. In the summer, she trains pack mules for Cairn, a hiking organization that accompanies groups with pack mules. This year, she won't be seeing her partner again until March. Which one? It's still unknown: she has a choice between four mules, but as we know, it's not really a choice, it's the one who will choose her to show her off.

Another great character; Mulardie is definitely rich in wonderful personalities. Xavier has been around horses since he was 8 years old and, like a true horseman, has blossomed with them: sensitive, empathetic, and refined. His future was mapped out, dabbling in all disciplines, never seeking to shine in the spotlight, preferring to work in the shadows with difficult animals.
He naturally fell in love with Mulardie, where his calm and sensitivity work wonders. Xavier is participating in the ChaLenge with Grelot, Laslo's big brother, himself wild and intact, castrated a month before the ChaLenge. The boarding took 10 minutes, which suggests he has excellent technique.
Xavier has encountered significant personal issues that prevent him from participating for an indefinite period, but his place with us remains secure.

Ambre was supposed to participate in the ChaLenge with Fortune and Chibo, forming a promising trio combining skill, gentleness, and music. Unfortunately, she was unable to complete her project. We regret this; it was very promising.
We'll see you in a month for new adventures!!!!!
