I’ve had mules all my life . Few things to remember.
The all have some quirk that can be mild or extreme.
They are very intelligent compared to most horses.
A mule wont hurt its self .
Some mules ride rough when they put their foot down. Can be rough on the rider.
Big man doesn’t necessarily...
I have mules and have been using the thick Wells 5 star pad with no blanket . They have a mule cut that fits a mule better. Have logged 20miles a day in the mountains . Saddle strays put and my mules are not made sore.
Uncle has a Tacky 2 he has no chance complaints about it.
It’s a red morel. I was watching it to see if it would grow. Have found them the size of a basketball. The frost burned it up. We batter and fry them. Before pic
Really depends on the kid . And you would know better than anyone else . Take them on short hunts . They get bored cold or whatever it’s time to leave . Don’t push it or they may dislike bit for a long time.
Most things are sold out anyway . I was trying to order a carry pistol right when this started . Still waiting. Was looking for a home shotgun for the wife . Sold out.
