5 Things I Wish I Knew About MULES

Here are 5 things I wish I knew about mules before I bought my first one. A mule might look like a horse but they're very different from a horse. They don't think like horses and that is what makes them very different. When you want to train a mule you don't want to do it the same way as a horse. I talk about feeding, mule saddles, training, and more so you and your mule can be happy.

The way you acknowledged there's more work on your part, leadership wise, all while these animals are bursting with trust in you is utterly commendable ❤️

[@coopah1]

2:52 I love your adorable dog. I bet he's a big help around the homestead.

[@BeckysHomestead]

Ya he's a good boy, smart and obedient. ❤️😀

[@jasongray2642]

Nice

[@jasongray2642]

Nice

[@pammiedoodle8693]

I love mules too! They are more sure footed and predictable than most horses we’ve owned. Charlie is so handsome😊

[@BeckysHomestead]

Riding a mule is smoother than a horse. They have better suspension.

[@pauldawson5418]

I guess im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

[@vincentarjun1988]

@Paul Dawson instablaster :)

[@pauldawson5418]

@Vincent Arjun thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@pauldawson5418]

@Vincent Arjun It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my account :D

[@RVGrannyWA]

My sister-in-law was married to Donald O'Connor's nephew. Donald did several movies with Francis the Talking Mule. Now I understand why they used a mule for this part. It was the mouth thing of course. Mystery solved, thanks. Love your videos.

[@rachelborcher7604]

That was great. We just got a mule at the rescue center and he's beautiful and wonderful. I think he's a lot like your mule! By the way your mule is lucky to have you and vice versa.

[@carriebishop8568]

This was finally refreshing to have an animal video like you used to make. Because now all you do is videos on cooking. Which there are plenty of cooking videos out there. I'm interested in the farm. Just one person's opinion and that's all. Not trying to hate on your anything. Just thought you'd want to know what your subscribers are interested in.

[@BeckysHomestead]

Thanks, funny my cooking videos do well for me and I do love to cook and eat. I always think I will bore people to death showing all the Homestead stuff I do. It's not exactly glamorous haha ❤️😀

[@chancefitzgerald7740]

Thanks, he is a beautiful animal.

[@JustinGray70]

Phenomenal vision, hearing and Memory. Take this vlog like a grain of salt...

[@rupertmcnaughtdavis3649]

I agree with all you said about mules.From South Africa.

[@goldfishbaby10]

This was a wonderful video to watch this morning! Thank you!

[@markschilders6558]

Very instructive Becky, and beautiful footage too! Regards from Holland!

[@micheledau1294]

Your info is so helpful and to the point!

[@michaelh425]

Thank you Becky for a very heartfelt & engaging video. Just subscribed too!

[@KJensenStudio]

Let's hear it for longears, yay! :-) I used to ride a draft, two mules and a mammoth donkey, and found a treeless saddle worked for all of them, with different girth straps of course. If you're riding more serious trails with a lot of elevation changes, you'd want a crupper and a breast strap too, but we were fairly level and that never was an issue. We had an Australian saddle too with full quarter horse bars, that for whatever reason fit my Belgian. So, get whatever fits, but these were just what worked for me with a mixed crew. Miss my hairy kids.

[@TomBTerrific]

Becky I was first exposed to your channel years ago. I must say you are a prize and wonderfully consistently positive person. Wish you well.

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3163]

He's a cutie. God Bless him.❤

[@ladonte79]

Awesome video....

[@swansonganimalcommunicatio4207]

Thank you for sharing this Becky, he is beautiful. i can see the power in him when he runs, very impressive.

[@AB-xb2ph]

I have a mule named bullseye (Toy Story) lol. He hangs out with our miniature donkeys and he starts trouble everywhere he goes but he is also really lovey dovey when he wants something.

[@BeckysHomestead]

Sometimes mules are to smart for their own good and everyone benifits with some training. ❤️😀

[@cacatr4495]

Becky's Homestead I wish you'd do a video on how smart mules are.

[@anntrope491]

Love all your tips...& critters!

[@yvetterivera3039]

Charlie is so adorable!! Can’t wait for more videos about him.

[@BeckysHomestead]

Hahaha Now I could do a lot on him. He is a big baby. A strong, smart baby

[@eccentricdetectorists9754]

They certainly are unique and funny characters. Love them and they will always work their little hearts out for you.

[@johnjjarhead5721]

Thank you. I really enjoyed the new information that I didn't have before

[@stanleyman4100]

Hi becky thank you for your help

[@staceyw.6608]

I haven't watched your channel in a while, and boy do I miss your energy! You're so lovely, and I just love your videos!

[@DigitalLazarus]

Awwww Charlie is wonderful.

[@janegerow5974]

Ha! We adopted two elder mules. They were so fun. So sweet. One lived to be over 30. I miss the morning brey. Our donkeys make a bit different noise!

[@TheBrickTavern]

Loved seeing how sweetly affectionate your Mule is...how WONDERFUL! That would be important to me too. Love your videos; thanks for sharing some of your interesting life with us. And you are always so upbeat about it-lovely presence you have there!

[@kimserio8317]

Hey Becky! Could you teach us some about the different types of saddles and how to put all the gear on? Thanks for posting this ;)

[@alextaylor3815]

Great video!!

[@brookiebb4483]

What a great looking mule. I’m a new mule owner and I’m still figuring out the diet part. Mules taking their time and you needing to be patient snd slow is very true! If I catch myself being a little pushy I don’t add pressure. I just stop, and ask all over again and then my mule gives me what I asked because I had to go back to asking nicely first

[@BeckysHomestead]

Charlie is such a good mule. He took a long time to train because he is so smart and sure of himself, but now he is the trail boss. He is brave and forward and likes to lead the ride☀️❤️☀️

[@markfranco3690]

Very cool. Now I need to know more about mules :)

[@avaleealexander5010]

Good stuff to know thank u for this vid Becky!!!!!!!!

[@anthonyburke5656]

You come across as genuine, I’ve just found your vlog, could you do vlogs on, where you are situated, the layout of your place, what your aims are, your life experience. I’m in Sydney, Australia, but I usually get to the US once. A year, I’ve retired and have family in Arizona.

[@trishpurple-flower2774]

Hey Becky I just love your channel. You have so many interesting facts about your homestead. It really made my day watching Charlie. I'm down with strep throat @ 53 years old. Gosh it's taking a tole on me. Thanks Becky for your video's. Becky can you please do another soap mold video ? I want too try making some. I also want too learn how too save money. It's just me and my husband. The bills are high with me being disabled. So I want too learn how too make more things. Thanks Becky Merry Christmas and happy New Year.

[@knickandchester]

Very fun to know. Thank you

[@nicoleblinker32]

Aw, he's so sweet!

[@SpotTheDifferenceEquine]

Omg Becky you give me life! Your channel is great! I subscribed!

[@shotgunhobo1776]

You have a beautiful way of life and a marvelous persona, thank you for this video.

[@joseynoyb9467]

I absolutely love that thank you so much. I love my mule and my donkey

[@juliazak17]

I am completely and utterly in love with Charlie. Is there any chance there will ever be any other videos featuring him?

[@analarson2920]

Love your mule Charlie, I have always been impressed when the police use mules, they are so intelligent and strong. Sweet, keep sharing=caring, blessings.

[@sophiesmith2747]

Omg Becky you are the best

[@Alledowaya]

Just subscribed!! So glad to have found your channel, my husband and I are wishing to go back to our families way of ranching, or in his case farming (my family raises cattle and his currently raises plants!). I was wondering though, as joey and I have discussed equines, we were both wondering if it was a better idea to commit to horses or mules? Staying with my families ranching, I haven't seen any mules were I'm from working with cattle, do you think that's something I could do with a mule? They seem so much more versatile than a horse!

[@FootypawsWorkshop]

I like how all your animals get along with each other :) Charlie has a good home!

[@BeckysHomestead]

Thanks, they all know they better or else they will be in trouble. ❤️😀

[@rybell6364]

Can you use a treeless saddle for mules?? Love your horse, mule, and donkey videos!!!

[@gregstone2579]

I've always wanted to add a mule to my horse collection. Thanks for the advice

[@cricketbee7823]

Loved Charlie and the dog. So interesting.💕👍😃💕🎄🎅☕

[@BeckysHomestead]

Thanks!

[@kateyladey3075]

Love your videos, and Charlie is such a sweetheart; very easy to see he loves you.

[@fl7210]

You and Charlie are happy friends!

[@Tom-cy5em]

Good video Charlie is one awesome Mule .

[@GmaAlice]

Your Charlie is a handsome fellow. We had one named Kate that we plowed the fields with. When she got too old for work she enjoyed a life of leisure until she passed away. Your Charlie can help you with many chores on the farm. He sure seems to love you. That shows how good you are to him. Happy mule = happy farm my dad would say. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber and I enjoyed your video.

[@BeckysHomestead]

Thanks, your father was smart. I for sure would use Charlie to help around here if I needed him. ❤️😀

[@l.wolfbrother1734]

We're going to adopt our first (small sized) mule next week. I'm very excited to work with him. (I'm not going to ride him though, just groundwork) :)

[@thejourney_1346]

If your still looking for a good mule saddle, look up queen Valley mule ranch. It’s run by Steve Edwards, and he has been training and working with mules for 40 years. I have on of his saddles, and I love it!

[@Cooper-kf4vb]

Mules are incredible, you couldn't of made a better friend 😉

[@flacadiabla3193]

Great vid! What camera do you use? Thx

[@thepuffin4050]

It's weird how most people think mules are stupid and stubborn when they are really cute and nice.

[@CassieDavis613]

Mules are great. Smart. Not stubborn. Live long.

[@marlenedietrich6706]

He is excellent with the dog 😉

[@MitchJohnson0110]

The point about the saddles is very true and important. You can make a horse saddle work if padded properly and modified, but for a genuine good fit you need a mule saddle.

[@bonnie448]

Try a Mclelland Saddle, it has an opening in the back for the spine.

[@BARFYADAMS]

Cool mule Becky

[@JesusPrayerTeam450]

He is handsome

[@BeckysHomestead]

Thanks❤️😀

[@slytherin_forever2284]

mules are cool

[@amalieobrowne1290]

But they cant have babies tho

[@amalieobrowne1290]

Because all of them are male

[@sagebestlegendary8461]

[@MoonPhaze5]

Thanks for sharing your mule experiences!😁. I've tossed around the idea of having a mule for the farm here. Would love to know what all you use him for. ☺👍. Thanks again, you lovely gal! XO😊

[@BeckysHomestead]

I use him to ride in the woods and mule camp. I want to do a little endurance riding with him when he is ready.

[@MoonPhaze5]

Oh now that sounds like fun! 😊. I would probably have to put mine to work, haha 😁. But I couldn't resist lots of play, and riding time too. 😀 Thanks Becky!!❄⛄❄

Melted butter and brown sugar, add dried whole oats, brown then top over applesauce.

[@rezyness]

Let us know when you get a mule saddle

[@yaboy7120]

What is difference

[@charlotte6154]

@@yaboy7120 As she said, mules are built differently than horses, so most of the time, they need a different saddle than what you would use on a horse. I have seen people jumping and riding English style on mules though.

[@oldschool3484]

i e video Becky. I see the dog likes the mule too. Charlie has good taste.. 😉

[@Marchant2]

I was brought here from an interview with Agnes Moorhead, who spoke very fondly of mules and owned a farm in Ohio. I didn't know that about her. In the interview she said she was looking to purchase two white mules for her farm.

[@rickyjassal4488]

mules are adorable AF with their long ears

I hope I get to have a Mule or two one day.

Great information. Now, I know about mules (stronger, eats less, and has inner intelligents.)

[@someoneami9705]

Charile is now my favorite Mule

[@adamheck8367]

I'm just a huge fan of the fact she's volunteering herself as a source of information when she doesn't ride him. Flat out said she doesn't even have a saddle for him, I guess this video was just for those choosing a pasture ornament.
