What topics are accepted?

Special Topics

Each year, we have two special issues:

February -  Jack Issue - features our Jack Index as well as articles focused on the breeding for and raising of mules and donkeys

April - Trail Riding Issue - features our Trail Riding Guide, as well as articles focused on all things trail riding
 
Articles submitted that focus on these topics will possible be held to be used in these issues.

We also have special sections for Bishop Mule Days, Jake Clark Mule Days, The Great Celebration Mule and Donkey Show, and The National Championship Chuckwagon Races each year. They are usually featured one to two months after the event (Bishop Mule Days held Memorial Day weekend appears in the July issue; The National Championship Chuckwagon Races held Labor Day weekend appears in the October issue).
