US Army mule Hambone (T. Hamilton Bone) achieved fame in 1949 for out-jumping thoroughbred horses at top-level shows.

Known as “The Jumping Jackass,” he was eventually banned from competition, according to YouTube and considering animals.

This prejudice forced him to return ribbons because he was a mule, not a horse

Loved Judy Richter. She used to come and do clinics when I was in New York at Bennett and Roseview. Good teacher and rider. Often a difficult combination !!!

So one time when I posted this EXQUISITELY PERFECT (to my way of thinking) photo of Judy Richter, some FaceBook warrior had to contradict me by finding something wrong, can’t remember just what minute detail.

I was sorely tempted to do what I try to never do, get in an argument on social media, by repeating something that my exasperated algebra teacher had once said to me---

“WHAT PART OF STUPID DO YOU FAIL TO COMPREHEND?”
