I LOVE this pole. My mini knows she's stronger than me from a little age. She was feral when we got her. She's 7ish now and has slowly started to come around us and let us "work" with her. I didn't have this spin pole. Just an old oak. I had to teach her I was at least smarter. Bolting is a real thing with them. I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
Good morning my mule sits back when I have her halter and tied when I go to touch her don’t get it anyway I can get rid of this behavior is she just scared or doesn’t want me to touch her?
All the mules I see in my parts look like they're Thoroughbred mules, well fed, and well cared for, and look like they receive regular exercise and training. I know of one mule that's "trolling" the local dressage circuits and winning against fancy imported dressage horses. 😁
I admire a lot of Garrison’s training methods but not this one. This us an example of flooding, one type of desensitization. Garrison Does this as well as possible, but he has caused more fear than necessary, especially at the beginning. There are other ways to desensitize. Systematic desensitization is another. Flooding can cause the animal, including human, to shutdown with an overload of fear. Spraying may not seem to us to be serious, but to the animal, this is an overload of emotion with a predator coming at them with possibly a weapon. Especially with a longear, it needs to be slow progression with time for the animal to think about it, not shut down.
The rope on that spot of the horse’s neck with the correct amount of pressure, could easily tear their trachea and esophagus, the horse getting crazy tied up on that spot is a recipe for a disaster and kind of a SHITTY TRAINING
You probably know this mule pretty well, but I would definitely not stand right in front of it. Off the shoulder, out of the strike zone is the safe place to be.
Today was the first day my colt stood still while putting fly spray on! I used about the same method your using, works great!
Paul, did you make your patience pole? If so, can you send info on how to? If not, can you send info of where to buy one? Thanks
I like it.....not too dissimilar to flag on the end of a buggy whip, except this is far more hands on and I'd guess bonding!

That's a really nice looking mule. All the mules I see for sale around here look like skinny donkeys.
Lol
Spartaeus it’s most likely cuz their abused, if you feed one properly and give it enough rest it’d be thick and mighty

I’ve had horses and mules jerk my arms for years. That pole is the smartest thing I’ve ever seen
Awesome!!
thank you for this video, now i know how to do this with my horse
Why do you start to desensitize the animal so late in the animals life? Shouldn’t it be within months of its birth?

Where’s Charlotte?
Oh wow, you’re using operant conditioning on a mule!!! If they’re smart enough for that, I have to have one.
