- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- We loaded up once again and headed West. This time bringing along the entire herd! Clyde, Reata, Timber and our newest member, Cedar!
Join us as we ride the high desert of Oregon. The South Steens Campground was a great place to spend a few days and we enjoyed heading out on the Big Indian Trail, straight from camp. Come along as we explore the Big Indian Trail and relive a little of Oregons Wild West history.
Next week we will be exploring a historic ranch as well as looking for old cabin remains.

So peaceful & beautiful!! Your mules are amazing!! The "fast food" was too cute!! Y'all are a great couple!! God bless y'all ❤👍
Wow! Thank you so much for taking time to leave such a nice comment! 😊 We have so much fun with our mules and we’re SOOO thankful to have them 😊 God bless you too!
Great channel and something new to watch. Enjoy the videos and scenery! Nothing better than the mountains! Live in Idaho myself! Great place!! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Thank you so much for taking time to watch and for leaving a nice comment 😊 We’re soooo thankful to live in Idaho and to get to explore the mountains around here! It doesn’t get any better in my opinion 😊
Don't you guys ever see any wildlife,show us !!!?
There is lots of wildlife in a lot of our videos ☺️ this particular ride we did not. Equines are noisy going through the brush and we usually don’t carry a long lens on our saddle. 🙂
Looked like a nice ride .. beautiful country
It really was! We absolutely love the high dessert! Can’t wait to get back over there 😊
Looks like a fun day/ride..
🇺🇸🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻
It was! Thanks for watching John! 😃
Looked like real pretty country. Do most places you guys ride have trails out west or is it more open country style?
I’d say it’s about 50/50… when we ride close to home, we usually ride off trail, but our destination rides are usually on some sort of trail system 😊
I’m just going through all your videos because I enjoy them so much. I’m wondering have you ever encountered any terrain that your mules refused bc they couldn’t manage safely.
They seem to think ahead about each hoof placement in the different terrain, they are so different than my horses on a trail. I’m so fascinated.
That’s a SUPER good question! And yes, we have… when we first got my dun mule, she wouldn’t even cross a creek lol but now that we’ve built some trust with them, they go pretty much anywhere we ask. That being said, we never ask them to go anywhere unsafe or out of our skill level 😊
Thank you so much for watching and taking time to leave such a nice comment! We appreciate it 😊
@@MTN_BUILT I live in Utah and a group of us trailed our horses and a couple mules to Bryce Canyon. I don’t know if you’ve ever gone there before but the terrain and scenery is so unique.
@@pennylane428 oh that’s awesome! We haven’t been there yet, really want to go! They have a Mule Days celebration (this week, actually) that we’d love to go to some day 😊
Very neat. I've been looking forward to this video and I'm NOT disappointed. I have plans to visit the ION this fall with my brothers and this video makes me really look forward to the trip. I've been interested in the ION and the Great Basin ever since I read about Claude Dallas in Give a Boy a Gun.
Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 😊 we absolutely love it over there and we can’t wait to get back over there… we actually had our wedding reception in that country several years back.
That’s great that you get to go over there with your brothers!
@@MTN_BUILT PS I’m looking forward to episode two, and what an awesome place to have a wedding reception! 🤠
Good time & country out there...like the Mules. Can't beat them in the back country.
Thank you for taking time to leave such a nice comment! We’re so thankful for our mules and for the opportunity to ride in such pretty country 😊
Have a great day!
Do you have to ride them with bits or bitless?!?! Thank y'all for videos of the trail rides?!?! Have a blessed day NOLA(New Orleans LA) 🙏🏽💯😁
Thank YOU for taking time to watch and leave a comment! We appreciate it 😊 We both ride in snaffles, but we’d love to have them going good enough to ride in a hackamore some day
Beautiful country and love the mule's!
Thank you! We’re so thankful for our little herd! We can’t wait to get out on our next adventure with them 😊
Love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. That’s a dream life. Tell me about during your rides up in the high country when you come across wildlife. I’d think you’d have walked up on maybe bears, deer, elk, moose, wolves, etc. Haven’t seen any on your videos I’ve seen. Keep it goin. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the kind words! We are super fortunate to get to live this lifestyle 😊 We’ve ran into deer, elk, and antelope, but no predators yet. We mostly ride in open country where we could see them before we got to close, but I’m sure the day will come where we cross paths with a bear, wolf, or cougar. Hopefully the mules will just take it in stride 😊🙏🏼
When we see deer and elk, the mules pay attention, but don’t usually get too worried about it.
Ever have a problem with bear or mountain lion?
Not yet, but I’m guessing we’ll cross paths with at least a bear one of these days… hopefully they’ll just spook and run away (the bear, not our mules) 😂
@@MTN_BUILT I don't even go out in my yard without bear spray. You are in a much more wide open space than I am. I'm in CT. Bears are in the yard regularly
Lovely ride. Do you ever come across any predators on your trail rides?
Thank you! It was beautiful 😊 We haven’t seen any predators aside from coyotes while we’re riding so far… we do ride in bear and wolf country through, so it’s probably only a matter of time until we cross paths with one.
Have fun but stay safe out there. Happy 4th of July! 🎆
This is a desert???
😂 I see your point… it sure doesn’t look like one right now! It’s always pretty green up there this time of year, but this year was exceptionally wet!
Reminds me of camping as a kid but without mules or horses we would hike in lol thanks for the memory
Awesome! I (Jason) grew up hiking in this country and it’s been a dream of mine to ride in there… it was such a special experience to get to take our mules up there!
Thank you for taking time to watch and for leaving a nice comment 😊
@@MTN_BUILT we grew up on the east coast so we camped Appalachian, Catoctin Blue Ridge Adirondacks we went all over
Another great video, keep em coming folks.
Thank you! We’re going to try! We’re fortunate to live next to some pretty country, so we can take the mules out without having to travel too far 😊
is the wade a mule saddle? who is the maker? Great video, thanks
Yeah, it is! It was made by Hud Roberts (HR saddlery).
