Alberta Donkey and Mule Club

What is the Alberta Donkey and Mule Club all about? In the past, there was a large “long ear” population with active owners throughout Alberta. Currently, there seems to be less and we want to change that! Our club is in a growth and rebuilding phase and would love new members and their equines to join us!

We are planning an array of events around the province to encourage people to come out with their equines. Last year we held a clinic, fun show, trail rides, play days, and participated in parades and demonstrations. We had booths at both Alberta Equine Expos, and have members active in different niches of the horse industry. There are members who compete in Extreme Cowboy Racing, Mule Racing, jumping, driving, open/fun show circuit, as well as many members who enjoy trail riding, and going into their community (schools, senior homes, parades). In addition, we have members or family members join us with their short-eared equines.

All equines are welcome at our events. We place a large emphasis on fun and learning. We are fortunate and have casino funding which allows us the ability to make our club beneficial for our membership and provide unique opportunities.

We have started the year with a First Aid Course for our members,
