Meredith Hodges
Meredith Hodges (born February 5, 1950) is an American equine trainer, competitor, educator, author and TV personality specializing in mules and donkeys, specifically the contemporary saddle mule.
==Early life==
Hodges's mother is Joyce Doty, mule breeder and developer of the first "quality" mules in the United States.〔(2003). "Mule It Over", ''Cowboys & Indians''〕 Her adoptive father was cartoonist and ''Peanuts'' creator Charles M. Schulz. Hodges grew up as one of Schulz's five children, and did not learn until she was an adult that he was not her biological father. Hodges was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after which her family moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado where her younger brother was born. The family eventually moved to Sebastopol, California. After graduating from The American School In Switzerland, Hodges attended Sonoma State University, where she studied psychiatric nursing. During this time she began work at Sonoma State Hospital with a rotation at Napa State Hospital as a psychiatric technician. Her career choice seemed far removed from where life would take her in the future, but, today, Hodges attributes her studies in psychology—especially her work in behavior modification science—to be at the core of her understanding of and her ability to communicate with mules and donkeys. In 1973 her mother enlisted her help in tending to the many mules and donkeys on her Windy Valley Mule Ranch in Healdsburg, California. Hodges became an assistant trainer and worked with her mother, on and off, until 1979, when her mother sold the Windy Valley Ranch.〔Noel T.J. with Sladek, R.D. (2002). ''Fort Collins and Larimer County An Illustrated History'', Heritage Media Corp.〕 Joyce Doty gave Hodges the last mule, Lucky Three Sundowner, and the last jack, Little Jack Horner, that were born at Windy Valley Ranch in 1980.〔Hertz, H. (2001). "Meredith Hodges", ''Western Horseman'' 66〕 Little Jack Horner became the Sire Supreme of the Lucky Three Ranch lineage in Colorado.
