I really liked him. He was a nice mule. Didn't really neck rein but would spin if you turned him.

I am so jealous! And he is a big one too!

Cool! Was he one of Cascy's? If not, where did you get to ride him? Did you get to put him through his paces? I only rode one mule before, but it was really neat, and also fun. I only walked and trotted though, and went over a couple tiny jumps

!

Also, just curious, are there no stirrups on that saddle

?

That's a nice looking mule.
I hope to ride one some day too.
I think they have a lot of character.

I rode a 6 yr old foxtrotting mule one time.....and I loved it....well, it was 14 miles worth, he was broke by the time I got him home. He never missed a lick but he was wobbly....

Nope, not one of Cascy's. Yes, there are stirrups, but my feet are kinda covering them. I couldn't really reach them. I didn't get to do much because of the lack of stirrups and plus I was in the parking lot of the horse sale. No, he wasn't selling there, he is used to work the cattle. I told the guy that I was going to load him in my car when he wasn't looking!

He's real nice, I wish I had one of them to ride(that is, if I could get on up there)

He's really tall...
