America’s greatness because of our goodness (DeToqueville) was no less the result of our opportunity and freedom to act on our thoughts and invent and manufacture the neatest stuff on earth.

He gave me a mule to ride. Now this thread needs music! Mules are awesome, btw.

Used to walk behind one like that plowing tobacco
when I was young,up one side of the row and back
down the other side.
Remember him passing methane every now and then.
Have to move over about 4 rows for a bit.

Mules and Mustangs (captured wild horses) are both pretty surefooted and are best for riding on mountain trails.

Thanks for your comments. Before today I knew absolutely nothing about the subject of this thread, so I did a little research and got some input from both of you. Now I know more than I did yesterday. That’s what I like about this forum and what keeps me coming back.
Cheers,
Otter

"Percherons are magnificent beasts."Amen! We had a team of half-brother Percherons in MN. Wonderful, intelligent, powerful animals! We called them "Da Boys" (the chickens were called "the girls"), and named them after our sons, Joe and Doug. Lovely, lovely giants.

As I said, I had never been behind a team before, but my friend trusted my (then) intelligence and ability to obey instruction and my youthful strength ... taught me what to do and (under his watchful eye) turned me loose.
To see those animals dig in and pull is a sense as powerful as being beside a lightning bolt.
OK .. maybe that's a little much but obviously, Those guys made an impression on me.
I had been up on the hillside with my friend at other times watching them skid logs out of the woods ... now THAT was power I had never witnessed before.
All you hoss folks (we Bostonians say hoss, not horse .. ) are blessed.
