HOW SADDLING A MULE IS DIFFERENT FROM A HORSE

I don't have a mule, I don't have a farm, I don't even have my own house, but I'm here for some reason

Now I know how to saddle a mule...now I need a mule.

I don't even own a mule but I'm watching this..

Absolutely the best explanation of mule saddling ever. Every detail covered and perfectly explained. Thank you!

This cowboy likes his mules, thinking about their comfort all the way...good to see ..

Never met this man in my life but after 10 minutes I already respect him more than half the people I know Will be using much of this info even for my horses!

This man is educated, wise and obviously cares deeply about his animals. I absolutely love hearing scientific words like spinous process, palpate and scapula in his accent! Proves not everyone with a drawl is an uneducated hick! ❤️

Isn't it great that his animals all want to be with him? So many have trouble catching them.

I don’t have a mule but that was really interesting.

shoulder to saddle bar...THANK YOU!!! people always tell me my saddle is too far back because it's not on my horses shoulders like theirs is😡 like hey he has a big shoulder and he needs it to MOVE...that's why your horses bucks and crow hops when you want him to go...your pinching it's shoulder blades!

The only thing going through my head while watching this was, "boy. that saddle isnt going anywhere."

Excellent explanation. My dad was an ammunition packer with a mule train during WW2. While he didn't teach us a whole lot about what's required to ride mules, he did say that a mule required a strap under the tail to keep a saddle in place. When I questioned this, he explained that a mule can duck out from under a saddle while bucking, and that he had experienced such a disconcerting event while training his riding mule.

Surely is nice to see someone who KNOWS what they are doing around stock. This man surely does. GREAT information. Pleasure to watch.

That's how I got started. I eventually bought one Morgan mare, showed her and then bred her twice. I eventually couldn't spend all the time on her she needed, so I sold her to a friend. My mare (Tarn) was trained to drive, go english, western and trail. My friend put her in a sport horse trial, and she received an eight ranking. That's very good. Last I heard she was at a retirement farm. If she's still alive she should be turning 40 years old on April 8. She was 3yrs old when I bought her. I'll be 70 this month. Wish I could see her one more time. Follow what you love and you'll never have any regrets.

100%......right on. The collar ... well explained. Adjusting for different mules ...check. Every horse/mule moves a bit differently. .. check. Alterations in the pad... check. You can use some bail twine or a leather strap. .. check Thing will still move and shiftband you will need to readjust... implied... check. Right! Greatly taught. Thank you!

I have no intention of ever getting on a mule, but appreciate the casual and concise instruction of how to treat your animal well. Thanks for taking the time.

Extremely interesting. I never realized there was so much thought that went into this.

I love the attention to detail and the importance of the animal's comfort. Very efficient and safe, too. Lots of wisdom and experience in this post. Thank you, sir!

I've learned more in his 11:24 min vid than I knew I needed to learn. U Sir, are amazing. Many thank yous.

I love that his mule’s name is “Charlotte.”
