There are more mule and donkey shows now than ever before, so it should not be too difficult to find shows to attend in your area. Also, many horse events accept mules and donkeys, but call ahead as a courtesy to those putting on the show.

Make sure that you have properly conditioned your equine for the classes you enter to make his showing experience positive and happy. Then, he will be willing to give his all. Check rulebooks to be prepared, check all tack, equipment, facilities and vehicles to avoid unwanted interruptions to your showing routine, so your equine can remain calm and obedient while showing. Be sure all veterinary paperwork is in order to prevent the spreading of disease. Call ahead to the show committees if you have any questions about anything, to avoid surprises and unwarranted stress.
