Uh-uh. Mules are too smart.

As William Faulkner said, a mule will work for you 20 years for a chance to kick you once.

I'll stick to the ponies. They're nicer.

Here's my good-hearted Tbred mare doing her thing in the hunting field last weekend. I wouldn't trade her for a span of sorrel mules!

"As William Faulkner said, a mule will work for you 20 years for a chance to kick you once."

ROTF!!
My favorite Faulkner line is as follows.

When asked why he rarely answered or even opened his mail, Faulkner said: " I will not be at the beck and call of every SOB who has 3 cents for a postage stamp" :)

What a pretty girl.

I've never spent much time around mules, but have seen some that are amazing...can do cutting, reining, jumping, just about anything. I've always figured it takes the right personality to get along with mules...I think if you are suspicious of them, better not fool with 'em. They are smarter than horses in a lot of ways.

I've got some mule owner friends who you couldn't give a good horse to.
