There are two NEW Mules on-duty at West Point. Ranger "III" and Stryker, since late 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.167.233.196 (talk) 23:55, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

"Paladin" and "Ranger IV" are on duty at West Point as new Army Mule mascots, as of 2024. In 2026 another new Mule donated by Steve Townes, USMA Class of 1975, will be on duty. "SHE" will be debuted on a national telecast in Fall 2026 from the first home game in Michie Stadium. That new Mule is named Ranger "V" and is the 2nd female mule is Academy history. The first female Mule mascot for USMA was "Buckshot." Historians should note that there are now female graduates from the Army's Ranger School, so it's no surprise that the donor designated "Ranger V" for naming rights. The new Equestrian Manager at West Point is Mrs. Kaysha Holloman, who guides the Cadet Mule-Rider Team in addition to other equine-related duties at West Point's new Equestrian Center located on Morgan Farm (part of the USMA military reservation property). ~2026-38468-38 (talk) 19:11, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

There is a well-written book by Amanda Wirth entitled "America's Favorite Mascot--A History of the Army Mule at West Point." It was first published in 2020 and has Library of Congress number 2021937231. It is a full compendium of facts and anecdotes about the iconic Mule Mascots, on duty at West Point since 1899. Some hilarious vignettes are described by actual Cadet Mule Riders of yore, who contributed to the book. There are dozens of color photos and vintage B&W photos of Mules at the Army-Navy Game and many other settings.~2026-38468-38 (talk) 21:36, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
