Featured Adoptable: Sam
Sam, who we have taken to calling "Donkey", because he looks just like Donkey from the movie Shrek is a 2006 mule. He lives at the VEA gelding farm, and loves hanging out with boys, and makes friends easily.
Sam adores treats, and is willing to try whatever it takes to make you happy and get a cookie. He is very cute about trying to figure out what he did to earn the cookie so he can repeat his good fortune.
When Same was evaluated, he was not really broke to ride, but he was a very good sport. He had no issues with taking a saddle or a rider, he just wasn't really sure what to do, and needed to be led. With a little work, Sam could quickly go from green to broke because he has such a great temperment. His adoption fee is $100, and he is ready for adoption now!
