[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 877680, member: 41338"] At 3 or 4, your mule might be the worst animal you ever rode. At 6 or 7, it might be the best animal you ever rode. Take the time you normally work with your horse and double or triple it with a young mule. The young ones are very insecure and it's taken me an hour and a half just to lead it out of the pasture away from the horses or down the road away from the ranch. As they mature (which is much slower than a horse), if you've been patient, that all changes. They're always thinking and deciding if they want to cooperate. The work you put in on the front end pay's big dividends on the back end. The payoff is a steady, predictable animal in the mountains. Less chance of a blow up and a hospital stay. I've worked with horses that I could train in minutes but despite any amount of work, retained their mental health issues in the real world. [/QUOTE]
