I saw this video a little late, but I have to say that it is a perfect presentation, well detailed and clear. Thank you Mr. Gee, everything has been very interesting (sorry for the English, it is done with the translator)
This is an extremely good and detailed video of how you analyze a mule's anatomy and how you make an actual saddle. A very interesting resource, not only for equestrians but for concept artists too! Thank you for this! :)
A mula ao receber toques na polpa ficou excitada a partir do minuto 15 começou a piscar a vulva que pena o rabo ficou baixo. Muito linda a mula, e um animal dócil com o homem.
You had wheezing and mild shortness of breath when you made this video. I hope you have received good medical care and that you are ok. Great information by the way. I had a saddle made by Steve Edwards at one time. It was a pretty good saddle, but I had to sell it when I got older and needed the money. He makes a lot of saddles....or he used to. Haven’t heard anything about him in a long time. He’s in Queen Creek. AZ.
With the newer none slip pads and girths along with the better bred mules all the breeching is not needed. But it does look good like customizing a 4wh drive.
I've always used a crupper with my mule and I suppose that I started like many people, buy a mule and start learning about them. I've mostly looked down on britchen as inconvenient and unnecessary. I also didn't care for how they looked and thought that they interefered with their movement. This is probably due to the few times I've seen them worn on mules they werent fitted correctly. Watching your video, I can see the actual use & benefit. Thank you for that! I would be interested in your view on the McClellan Saddle as this is what I used on my mule mainly because most saddles for horses wouldn't fit her properly. Over time I've also noticed that not all mules have the same shape.
This is a very good and thorough video. I learned a lot watching you work. I got into a conversation with my roommate about your hat and we were wondering what kind of material it is. Could you share what brand it is and where you got it? Much appreciated.
Do you have a template for your tree that I could try on my mule? I could give you a deposit or rental then send it back to you. I have a gaited mule that seems to be wider in front and narrow in back of rib cage. I really don't want to have a custom saddle made that does not fit her. I've tried a few bare trees and templates at an Amish saddle shop and a custom saddle maker that did not fit her. Yes, they were mule trees. :( Your saddle is beautiful and I would love it if it could work for my molly!!
That mules got enough wither to hold any good saddle , wouldn't even need breeching, but it really looks nice. Poorly bred mules would need a quote, mule saddle.
But do you want a mule that is more like a horse....presumably that's what a "better bred saddle mule" is. My mule is a mule, bred for work and endurance (I am from Portugal) and what Joseph G explains is exactly what most mule owners need to know (but many don't bother). Many thanks Joseph for your detailed explanation on saddle fitting.
Save your and your horses, or mules butt when things go bad…and you never know when that will happen. Dogs under , or rushing your horse..motorcycles, cars too close, too fast..people on bikes with you on a narrow way….a tap doesn’t do it..they are flight animals..they barely feel a heel, voice when they are scared..Riding 60 years.

It appears to be a nontoxic Crayola water based marker, the kind that are designed for little kids to shove into their mouths and noses without dying...
I was gonna buy a very beautiful expensive mule for my saddle, but tragedy struck big'time. One foggy Sunday morn It got run over and struck but a c17 .
Mr. Gee's, saddlery and equipment look topnotch. His explanation of function was clear and easy to understand. Thank you.

Yes, you love your mule, love and respect him too and get him a saddle that doesn't hurt him.
I find that you give very complete information. I appreciate the time and the thoroughly helpful advice you supply.

Just received my breaching today from Joe. Perfect fit, excellent quality. Highly recommended and could not be more pleased.
Thanks Joe!
And your mule says thanks alot too!
Big red mules in the desert are the safest, the mule looks out for himself and in the process you too.
Thank you for taking the time to post this video. Very informative, and I enjoyed it. Thanks!
Thank you for explaining step by step...couldn't be done any better! 👍
Great guy who makes great tack. I’ve gotten a bridle, britchen, and breast collar from him and I wish I had one of his saddles.
Great video. Looking for my first mule and this video was very helpful in making sure I get the right fit. Thanks.

Joe thanks for the phone conversation on mule saddle fit and my saddle pad questions. Tim
Nice video. Thanks for share.

Very informative !!
Great explanation!
Thank you 🙏 I learned a lot
I don't think Festus ever worked that hard to saddle a dang ol mule ehhh

I never had a real mule saddle always used a saddle by Tennessee saddlery with a custom britchin
Yo fabricó fuste m gustaría ver estos videos en español
Where do you get those buckle covers you mention? I have the tail of my mule constantly caught in the buckels of the britchen.
I would also like to know!
Close ups would b nice & useful, JMHO
Boa tarde Sérgio de São Francisco do sul SC gostaria que me mandar uma foto bem definida de está retranca pra mim fazer uma
I notice that you walk wide around the back of the mule, is there a reason for that?

Good bredup saddle mules have enough withers to not need extra rigging.but I just like the looks. Tough like my mules.

Who can you recommend me to make a saddle for my Mule, I am in Texas ???
I notice Caribbean locals sit way back on the donkey's back, almost over the hip, any idea why?
Where i can buy a saddle??
So what you're saying is you don't use what you make you use something different than what you send to people
мечтал всю жизнь оседлать такого супер мула а вот как бедному поиметь такого если у него грошей нету его купить остаеться только шорником работать
What is the purpose of using spurs ?

Those mules look like they could use a little more feed!
What kind if marcker is that it might hurt your animal and why did you think it was a good idea to draw on that mule
It appears to be a nontoxic Crayola water based marker, the kind that are designed for little kids to shove into their mouths and noses without dying...
Marker, not marcker
How much. $$$
For. A saddle $$
Ok, well that was interesting. (❛‿❛)

Kogaion78 sorry I don’t know.
Mt. Pleasant, UT??
Tackmeister Spring City, very good!
Ah, Close. Horseshoe mtn in the background gave it away for me.
Why not just use a crupper?

This is very interesting. My dad used to work with mules but that was back in the 1940 s to 50. Then came the tracktor
