Peanuts, the miniature mule can do tricks after being saved and living at Dharmahorse.

Local sanctuary founder, Katharine Chrisley-Schreiber, saves senior horses that have been abused and starved, giving them a new life at Dharmahorse Equine Sanctuary. Located in Las Cruces, NM, Dharmahorse was founded in 2010 by Katherine and her mother Rose. Katharine, her husband Mark and volunteers take care of these senior horses every single day, attentive to the equine's health and medical needs. From humble beginnings and hard times, in the end ... Katharine says these horses saved her.

Katharine tries to show how Bodie has no teeth, but he can still eat all the hay he wants.
