Funny story to me ! I broke my brothers molly mule ! When we would go trail riding I could yell Back and HIS mule would stop and back up ! He would yell you MF I still laugh 20years later !
I have a friend who is descended from Pancho Villa. He is looking for a mule. What a refreshing informative presentation from someone who has vast knowledge, Biblical, history, horses and mules, and animals. The only horses in the Grand Canyon in recent times were the Mustangs in the documentry Unbranded. You have the same qualities as Charlie Goodnight.
Your genuineness and authenticity comes through as you share some of your experiences. I can almost visualize some of those trail and ranch experiences. Wonderful video. How would I get in touch with you to train some quality mules?
I watched and listened to Video 10 Horses VS Mules and enjoyed so much I subscribed. I was particularly impressed with the animals standing untied. I have built and opened a lot of trail while leaving my now departed Hondo untied to graze on his own. It was refreshing to listen to someone that seemed to share many of my values. Then I watched 'climbing cliffs on a new trail'. I never ever needed to beat my horse to encourage him to go up a trail. He would go at the slightest urging with no worries of what would happen if he did not. And I'm talking about trails that are more challenging than anything I've seen on your videos so far. The trails I speak of include the worst sections of the annual Desert Caballero Ride out of Wickenburg, Arizona. You claim to be training at a 10 so the inexperienced can ride safely at a 3 and suggest the soccer moms to lighten up. Riding at a 10 to make the animal safe at a 3 is pure BS and no more than an excuse for the abuse I witnessed of the white horse heaving at 1:32. If a person was caught abusing a dog to that extent, they'd be jailed. But of course with a horse its ok. Training at a 10 as you call it keeps the horse in a heightened fear level with high levels of cortisol secretion. That means when something does happen to cause him to blow up, it will be a big one. Sorry, you ain't talkin' to a soccer mom here. Then I watched Part 2 of climbing cliffs. We didn't leave our animals untied as we did in the first video I watched. We used a double half hitch (or clove hitch) and locked that sucker down tight. Considering the size of the tree, doubtful that animal will be leaving. Drink for you, drink for the chainsaw. How nice! Not a **** thing for the animals that have been working so hard to get you to the work site. I have concluded you as a total imposter and have unsubscribed. What a sham and what a shame. No respect for the horse what-so-ever.
Mules are smarter than most horses, some people call it stubborn, but a Mule won't do anything to hurt itself. Mules are less panicky, Mules have better/ harder feet. The only problem with Mules is that you can't make new Mules with them.
Great points…Agreed. If a person does not need all the advantages of a mule, but wants to do it with some flash and speed, a good horse will do ! No mules in the speed timing events, in the big Rodeo’s….. just putting in a word for horses 🤠👍
My Grandfather had mules that built roads in Texas long ago now be been dead 100 yeas now. He was what they called a good road man he had 250 mules when he left the world and you said is true a mule will love you too. God bless
There was a man in Oregon that raised spotted jacks. The first time I heard one of them, it sounded just like an old train whistle. My grandpa could bray like donkey and they would answer him.
What are the links to the mule training books and DVDs and do you have a website and where are you located ? Can you make a video on the different types of mules for different purposes ?
Question. What type of mare breed do you prefer? Or is it based on what your task is with the mule? I get the whole logging this with draft mares mules but do you get the characteristics of the mare in mules other than size, coloring? Quarter horse, thoroughbred?
I'm glad to hear someone speak the truth about them. I prefer to run a meal over a horse especially since I have got older. They take better care of you.
I really enjoyed the presentation. Alot of the information you mentioned I have heard, but I learned still alot. I have never had a mule, but always wanted one. This past summer we went to a three day show in Hamilton, MT. I saw alot of mules doing different events . The one thing I observed was that quite a few of the mules were skiddish. For example when they had to ride up to an obstacle (post) and go around it and run back to the starting point, they were scared to approach it and move from left to right. I know that horses will do the same with an unfamiliar object. Do you think that some of those mules had not had sufficient training? I agree with you that they are very expensive and probably won't be able to afford one. Lastly, what state out west are you at? Thanks again, really enjoyed it.
I saved an Arabian that should never have been gelded. A near perfect horse. Rode him with mules in the Ozark Mountains with mule riders .He watched the mules go down bluffs and rock slides and learned by watching and did it the same way the mules did.
Awesome presentation! The things you said about mules echoed what my buddy from Aragon New Mexico, Jim Patterson said. I've never owned or ridden one. Horses only. Looking forward to the experience. Im curious about the difference between Jenny's and Mules. I've also seem huge jacks from France called Poitou's I believe. I've wondered if they could be bred to draft stock!
That would make 17-18 hands high or taller mules. You don’t necessarily need those massive mules. They are too tall to ride, pack, or do most things with. I have mules and horses and my tallest horse is 17hh and he’s damn near impossible to pack or put a diamond hitch on without standing on a ladder. And I’m 6’2”. A 14.2 - 15.2 hh mule is perfect. And pound for pound, mules are stronger for their size than horses.
It amazing your head fits in that 10 gallon hat. 2500 horses and mules in 20 years?? That is 2.5 a week (trained) . So you quoted in 20 years you had 2000 receipts for horse training some lady saw. Do you not keep record of mule training?
2000 in 50 years, thats 40 per year, thats 3 plus a month with no vacations for a soild 50 years. No matter the weather, seems like Pecos Bill story. So the question is what is your definition of "trained".
Henry June lost his job training show cattle to lead . He was a wonderful jackass so I traded for him and put him with my horses. It rains in Missouri, a lot. Canadian thistles thrive and the blooms scatter seed like feathers in the wind to take over pastures. Henry June taught the horses to eat the blooms to eradicate them. Then the mares taught their foals . Even when Henry June left I never had to worry about thistles. Your hard mouth comment about mules made me wonder.
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you.

You are a gifted speaker with a humble down to earth quality. Great discussion !
I love both. Spend lots of time watching And taking care of those creatures and I just don't care either way. Love them. I really do.
Damn good video.
Mules don't make horrible noise. That's the sound of Angel's singing. 😅 Great video. 100% real talk. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Mine starts as a Winnie ends as a bra splits right in the middle we call her the opera singer
This video was excellent….very informative and educational.

Outstanding
New subscriber here from Tx! Love your videos keep them coming!

Good stuff.
Real wise man right there

Could you make a video describing, in detail, what you consider to be the ideal conformation in a horse to handle the types of trails you ride?
THANKS!
You prefer your Mules in a hackamore or a bit?
I'm glad to hear someone speak the truth about them. I prefer to run a meal over a horse especially since I have got older. They take better care of you.
My da taught me “a mule will only hurt you on purpose, a horse will hurt you accidentally” he also told me they would wait 7 or 8 years to do it.

How can I connect you about buying a mule for packing elk and deer
That’s why I ride a good mule
My Arabian will go 50 miles and ask for more!!!
Ha. Good luck with that.
Young is burning.yapp yapp.

What about a good mustang.
Who is this guy ????🙄🤔
The perfect animal is a mule made from an Arabian. Arabians are also bred to take the heat and have a great brain too.
Henry June lost his job training show cattle to lead . He was a wonderful jackass so I traded for him and put him with my horses. It rains in Missouri, a lot.
