Pete,

I can't give carrots, because Katie would want them, too, and she doesn't have teeth. I had to laugh the other day. She loves fig newtons, and that's fine, as long as I'm giving the other horses the same. I was giving pears the other day (quartered and cored), and she refused her fig newton. She wanted her pear, just like the other guys! So I gave her some of the softer ones, which she ate greedily. I buy the pears, and let them ripen up for a week or so.

What I meant, though, are there any behavioral differences between horses and mules that I might trip over.
