When the handful of members decided to form a club they put an ad in the paper announcing their first trail ride. These same founding members attended the first meeting of the North Idaho Saddle Mule Club in 1976.

This is our 32nd anniversary!

Today there are more than 80 family memberships in the club, which tells us that mules are appreciated by many in this part of the country. Our members participate in trail rides, BBQ's, mule and donkey shows, fund raising poker rides, playdays, endurance rides, packing, auctions and parades. The one thing we all have in common is that we love our mules, as did the founding members of the NISMC.

And they are:

Promote owning, training, breeding and use of saddle mules and other hybrids. Educate the members and public about mules. Cultivate and promote equestrian games and sports. Cultivate social life among members.

Want to Join?

Simply send $25.00 for a family membership to: NISMC Debbie Fauser PO Box 456 Springdale, WA 99173 Or E-mail: fredmoyer@nismc.com

Tell us how many mules/donkeys you have and what you like to do with them. That's it! Welcome to the club!

If you want to meet some of the members come to a meeting, (normally the 4th Thursday of the Month at the Inland Northwest Wildlife Council building in Spokane, WA) or show up at an event and remember.......... MULES RULE!
