• Barn manners for my mu...
Patients Patients patients will pay off everytime, and you have so much time and patience with your wonderful Mules....how beautiful they are ❤ thankyou for sharing this video from across the pond hear in England 🇬🇧 uk
Wow, England huh?! Cool 😎. Great to have you with us. And thank you for such kind words. Also, thanks for taking time to watch and comment. I do appreciate it.
I enjoy watching you work with the mules at home as much as working the logging. Thanks for bringing us along.
I am so glad ya enjoyed it! I try to mix things up to where it’s not the same ole thing all the time. Thank you for the encouragement and for your time! Take care and do come again, please
Truer words were never spoken,
a mule will try to outsmart you every chance they get,
when working with mules you need to have your
thinking cap at all times. LOL
Yessir most definitely! Thanks for watching and taking time to comment my friend. Take care and do come again, please
You sure do a great job making videos and teaching about mules and logging.
That means a lot! Thank you for such kind words and I’m glad ya enjoy the videos! Thank you and do come again please. Thx for your time and for watching
Thanks for sharing the video Zach. Yes sir you are trying to alleviate bad habits. Beautiful young pair. You are good and gentle but firm and that is the key to working with anything young. Yes sir you have to out smart them for if they get by with something they don't forget. Big difference between a mule and a horse. Take care and God Bless Y'all.
Yessir you’re right! Clear boundaries and clear commands with repetition is what wins the race. Thanks buddy! And thanks for taking time to watch and comment as always. Take care my friend and do come again!
Kiss rule😉 keep it simple stupid. I sometimes catch myself over thinking how to fix a problem, when a simple solution like you found will be very effective. Very nice work.
Exactly! I use the “kiss” method quite a bit. Sometimes you just sorta stumble on things such as this deal. Hey, thanks for watching and the kind words my friend. Take care and do come again, please
God bless you all there
Thank you for making this excellent video
Take care my friend
Thank you, my friend! Thank you for watching and commenting… Take care and do come again anytime!
You are most welcome! Thank you for the blessings… And for taking time to watch in comment. I surely appreciate all you do. It is good to hear from you. Take care and do come again.
Daily routine is a good teacher. Your mules seem to be pretty respectful of the rope you tied across, I had horses who would get across a chain I spanned in a similar way when i was not looking.
Yessir and thank you! So, I only use the rope when getting them in and out so it’s sorta new to em. And enough to keep em at bay lol. When I first started with it, she turned around and faced it. Smelled of it and all. But she wouldn’t mess with it. It’s more mental than anything I think. And using it as a restraint when taking them out has really proven helpful. She’s strong enough to overpower me holding a lead, but not that cotton rope tied off. In time I believe she’ll give up her fight and relax more; but it’s not gonn last be easy. Her mother was a good work mare. But she was snorty. Anyway, thank you sir for watching and commenting! And as always, thx for the kind words and also for watching
Thank you for that .
Most welcome! And thank you for always watching and taking time to comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
That's a great lesson training the mules. It' amazing what they learn and remember...right or wrong. Blessing.
Yessir right or wrong..you are right! They’re mighty keen. They learn quick good or bad. So it’s best to always make sure YOU win and not the mule lol. Anyway, thanks for the kind words my friend and for watching as always! Thank you and do come again, please
Thank you so much for your awesome videos.
You’re most welcome and thank you kindly for watching and commenting! Thanks for the decorating words. Take care and do come again, please!
Patients you have with your mules they will learn what you need from them thank you for sharing your time, wife and I love your videos
I do my best by them as often as I can..thank you for always watching and commenting. I’m glad you and the wife enjoy em. That makes it worth doing my friend. Thanks! Take care and do come again, please
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Yessir you’re welcome and thank you for the kind words and also for watching! Thank you. Take care and do come again, please
I like how you are taking after Mr. Summer's and talking quietly to your mules. We all can learn from others experience. God bless you and your family
Yessir you’re right and I do try to always improve myself and my mules every time I work them or fool with em. We all have room for improvement. Thank you for the kind words and taking time to watch and comment. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again! Please

Hey buddy! Yessir they are just like people and I’d say every bit as intelligent if a person is willing to spend the time to teach them things. Anyway, thank you sir for such kind words and I’m so glad you enjoy the videos. That makes them worth doing. Thanks for always watching and taking time to comment. Take care and do come again, anytime! Thx

@@billywarpool3625sure will brother
One thing I have learned from other mule owners is how intelligent they are. Let's hope June doesn't figure a way around your solution sir lol
Ha! Yes!! They are smart and some are too smart lol. That’s June. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please
Great video!!!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for taking time to watch and comment. Take care and do come again!
They definitely are a creature of habit our horses were the same way
Yes ma’am, for sure! You have to use it to your advantage
Very interesting, so you have to maintain their feet and obedient train your young mules Dailey, y😅
I don’t have to per se…but it helps get them in a routine and makes handling them quicker and easier for me: especially on my limited time schedule. The easier the better. So things I’m set on like their feet, we do everyday. Because their feet is very important. And trimming and shoeing them is important. So I want them to handle their feet well if that makes sense. Anyway, hope I answered your questions. And thank you for always watching and taking time to comment: I surely appreciate it. Take care my friend and do come again, please
Sorry for the wrong button, you mention that they are smart, do you mean they are figuring what is coming up next, or are they just anticipating your next move, thanks for sharing even though I'll never own a pair of working horse or mules I find your content educational and very interesting thanks.
No problem buddy. So, when I say they’re smart I mean that they will study you and their surroundings very close. They pay a lot of attention to what’s going on around them. They pattern things and do anticipate. Such as me picking their feet up, going to each of their stalls and staying there, certain voice commands I’ve taught them, right down to learning their jobs as work mules. Mules are very intelligent animals and learn what you’re asking of them quick. They’ll pick up on things fast whether bad or good. So a feller must set himself and the mule up to win. Hence why I used this rope to hold her while untying. Because I wanted her to stay but she wanted to bolt. The rope mitigated the situation and taught her to stay still until I release her with my mouth. If that makes sense.
Really good question and answer thanks. It's sometimes hard to believe horses can't do logic.. they watch and see what happens. Some are more alert... And they can react much quicker than we can.
@@fion1flatoutyes ma’am. I’ve had horses that were intelligent, but most mules I’ve worked were for sure. It’s just a difference in them I reckon. Thanks for watching and the kind words
Good video!
Thank you so much! And thank you for taking time to watch and comment. I really appreciate it l. Take care and do come again, please!
I really enjoy your videos. I've noticed evidence of some cribbing. Do you train them to stop that, or do you just tolerate it? Thank you
Thanks for the kind words and I’m glad you enjoy the videos! So, my colt..May..is the culprit of cribbing. I tolerate it for the most part. Because some mules will crib and most won’t. I have in the past mixed burnt oil and red pepper together…and painted it on the wood where they crib at and that’ll stop it or slow it up anyway. Hope this answers your question and thanks for watching and taking time to comment. I appreciate it. Take care and do come again! Please
Hi Zach. Just found your channel not long ago and really love it! Don't know if you've answered this, but, why do you have the halters hang opposite the side you work with them? Makes you have to reach over or back them up to get to it. Just wondering if you did this for a specific intention. Thanks for your videos🙏
Hey there!! Well, tbh with you..I didn’t think it thru that hard when I put the hangers up lol. I should’ve hung them on the opposite side for ease of things. I’ve just gotten use to it the way it is now lol. Idk, maybe I’ll change it eventually. Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching! I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again…please.
Mr Odom what was the reason for laying the blue rope across their withers? I missed that somehow. Those gals looked mighty calm ✌️
Hello my friend! Ok, so I use the blue lead rope just to hold them while I am putting their halters on and off to keep them from moving away from me on their own accord. I want to be sure I win instead of letting them develop bad habits such as pulling away from me when I’m haltering them. If that makes sense? Thx for the kind words my friend and thanks for always watching and taking time to comment. Thx
@@zachodom7486 well that does make sense. Just a little bit of a technique for them to think they can’t get away with backing out of their stall. The same routine you use every time to let them know you’re in charge.
I’ve been away for a bit with spring break grandchildren but I’m still here watching and learning. I’m grateful to see your videos each and every time. They are never boring, that’s for sure 👍
Glad to have ya back my friend and thanks a whole bunch for watching! Hope you all had a good spring break. Thx again!!
So, are all your mules either full sisters or half sisters?
Kate and Alice are half sisters…May and June are half sisters. But they two pairs are not kin to each other. oh that makes sense. Thank you for the question, and also for watching! I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again please please

Zach you sure make an old man look bad, You work a job, log, work / train the animals and film. Do you ever sleep?
Haha, I always seem to make time for sleeping no doubt. Although my days are usually full trying to work everything in. And every now and then I just have to take a mental health day. I plan to go to the plowing this weekend and do just that. Relax and play with friends! Thanks for the kind words my friend and for watching! Means a lot. Take care and please come again!
