When I switched to bitless everything became so much better, it just dawned on me one day that the our biggest issues were her hating the bit and how I was trying to steer her. I honestly felt foolish for how I had been doing things but I grew through my mistakes. My mule stopped fussing immediately and just automatically became so soft, so receptive to the the lightest neck rein and leg. We all gotta learn somehow and it takes time, fortunately I have a real good and patient mule who put up with me until I learned how ask right, and how to ask the same way every time. For 13 years now we been having a good ole time together, we go down the trails, cross the rivers, up and down steep embankments and ditches. She's never bucked once, I'm still learning - it's on going.
Happy mule! Looking at getting a mule or donkey to protect my sheep when I get them. I’d love a medium riding mule. A nice small 13.2 to 16hh mare mule.
I love how she's searching for the answer and trying different things. No doubt in my mind after a couple of days in training her to flex she'll be a pro at it. I personally don't like bumping just continues pressure till they try. Another thing is rein control keeping that small box is a good habit.

I dont have a mule but I really enjoyed watching this. I just wondered if you could train and ride them like you could a horse or if it was drastically different. From what I've seen not really different. 😍
Jessika Pack. You can definitely go bitless with your horse. Before you do you need to make sure that your horse is very soft in the bridle and when you use your leg to move over your horse doesn't brace. Mules are very different then a horse and can learn very quickly. If you are thinking about getting a mule, do your homework and start to do your research. Mules typically only bond with one person. If they have been abused, it can take a long time for them to trust you. Some mules will kill anything that gets in their pasture (cats, dogs, racoons, possum, etc. Other mules are okay with strange animals in their pasture. Mules do not eat grain and like nibbling on a tree. They will only drink enough water to satisfy their thirst. Their skin is tougher than a horse. A horse trainer cannot train a mule. A mule feeds off of your emotions so if you are having a bad day, you need to get your emotions in check.
This is the sidepull I have been looking for! My training halters with side rings flop around and don't look as effective on one that has learned to be very heavy.
this was great, would this tactic be good for asking a mule to stop a behavior, such as if they decide to start going the "wrong way" on a trail and being a stinker, would you correct it by asking her to bring her head in instead of stopping and turning her around?

nice video sir thanks, grts from Belguim
Mules are super smart and they don't forget. Teach them something and they know it. Be nasty to them and they remember that too. lol
I love the bitless bridle

I have no idea where you get that mules don't eat grain
My mules get oats everyday.
