The Middle Tennessee Mule Skinners are a group of people that use and promote mules and draft work animals. We are the home of the Guinness book of World Record for most mules plowing at one time. We have at least two wagon trains each year that consist of three days of riding and primitive camping. The Mule Skinners group have had very successful mule shows in the past and hope to get one planned out for 2025.
We also support the mule shows at all the county fairs all the way to the Kentucky State Fair Show. Most of us travel all around to wagon trains put on by other groups. Several of us have participated in the Annual Montgomery Wagon Train, sponsored by the Forney Trail Blazers group. It consisted of 185 miles in 10 days from Center Alabama to Montgomery Al. We sponsor several plowing events and hay mowing events in our area throughout the year along with going to other activities around.
We do parades and haul people at events all around us. Most of our members participate in the Columbia Mule Days every year. Some haul dignitaries, some haul the queens or have wagons representing different businesses and organizations. Some of the plowings that members attend is The Homeplace at Green River Ky, Cedar Creek plowing in Lindon Tn, Big South Fork in Jamestown Tn and one in Barlow Ky along with our own around Middle Tn.
There have been a few members that have taken their mules all the way to Lancaster Pennsylvania to participate in The Horse Progress Days annual equipment display for the Amish. We have a member that makes his living by logging with mules.
We are taking this opportunity to invite new members from all over to join us and help promote mules and work stock for the future. Membership is only $12 annually. We meet monthly in Woodbury, Tn. You do not have to attend the meetings to be a member. We have a Face Book page and Group Me site to keep members informed on all activities. If anyone needs any information on any of our activities or membership please contact Kerry King-president 931-607-8225 or Anna Browning-Treasurer 615-904-5336.
