We had Shannon and his partner Ranger for our tour. It was the best experience we had in NOLA. This says a LOT coming from a horse owner who owns and operates a horse boarding facility in the horse capital of the world. 1st the mules welfare is their 1st priority; they are in great physical condition and you can plainly see that they are loved by their drivers. Trust me, I would have not given money to have a ride if i felt that the mules were not taken care of properly. It was only after I visited with the drivers and asked a bunch of questions that I booked our ride. We throughly enjoyed the history lesson from Shannon. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We were extremely impressed by the fact that when the mules can no longer be of service as a carriage mule they are retired to the owners farm to live out the rest of their lives. A must do!
