This message is from: "jerrell friz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi List,
It finally stopped raining here. I guess I will have to drive in the mud tomorrow. I always get a chuckle when someone says their horse is like a mule, stubborn. To train a mule one has to be smarter than the animal. I believe that mules have the ability to question/ analyze the problem. That is, if a predator is after them, they might turn and fight the animal, much like a moose would. Mules, have a different movement, usually smoother and, more natural balance. Packers usually prefer mules over horses, because the loads ride better. Also, they usually walk a little faster than a horse. Years ago I heard that someone was breeding Fjord mules in Western Montana. I tried to locate them but was not able to. I wanted to buy one. I still would consider buying one. So, if anyone knows of a Fjord mule I might be interested. The main problem that I see would be their smaller size. I prefer a Percheron mule 16-17 hands.
