[@user-nj4mk5if1b]

Sorry had to stop and get rid of some tears at the memory's

[@zachodom7486]

I sure love watching young kids having real fun the way I did at there age. I think that I use to work with Mr Summers daughter for years. She always talked about his mule's. I very much enjoy your videos thank you.

[@zachodom7486]

I do love to watch the big draft mules work. Missouri Mules, I always called them.

[@zachodom7486]

Meeee too! And thank you for the kind words. Thanks for watching and do come again, please!

[@EricBurgeson]

THose young girls sure enjoyed the ride!!! And these draft mules are "easy going" compared to pack mules

[@zachodom7486]

Yessir they did. Most draft mules are pretty laid back for the most especially compared to saddle type stock. I use to break a right smart of those type mule. But just got to where I don’t fool with em anymore. Now I just fool with the draft mules and horses. These mules are on up in age to, so that helps a bunch. Not to mention, Mr Summers has put a LOT into them. Anyway, thanks for the kind words and also for watching my friend. Take care and do come again, please

[@JamesN-ut2jv]

Mr. Summers is so soft spoken..you can tell he loves his mules. You can also tell how much you to care for each other. Remember everyone, we serve a "risen" savior. Happy Easter

[@zachodom7486]

Yessir true on all levels! Thank you kindly and Happy Easter to you as well my friend. Praise the lord, he is RISEN! 🙌🏻❤️

[@SamDoe-zn3tu]

@@zachodom7486 My grandparents were not wealthy and farmed with mules and horses. They built the house from Sears and roebuck mail order. She would tell us stories about growing up on the farm and how riding the mules even when running the spreader was an adventure. The mule team were out in the pasture and were sadly struck dead from lightning. Thanks again for the happy visual 😉

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

I used clean this "farmers" barn with a ground driven all steel wheel manure spreader. McCormick or International i believe. The team i used was a John Deere R.😆 I was quit young at the time. Lets just say he had 5 kids and i worked more on that farm than they did.

[@zachodom7486]

Ha! I heard that…I know the types you’re speaking of. And I do like your team..those R models were tough!!! Take care my friend and thx for the kind words…and for watching! I appreciate it

[@terrythomas7035]

I love anytime you have Mr summers on

[@zachodom7486]

Ty ma’am and I enjoy spending time with him also and glad to share it

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

Good looking sturdy mules. I like the smart contraption for lifting off the harness, which seems to be quite heavy.

[@zachodom7486]

They’re good ones for sure. Yeah, Mr Summers came up with it. He said he can’t heave it up there anymore like he use too. It’s biothane material, so it’s not too heavy. Not any heavier than any other type of harness imho. I can still throw mine over em, but one day I may need this setup myself. I just hope I’m still able when I’m his age. Thanks for the kind words and for always watching my friend! Take care and do come again, anytime!

[@klauskarbaumer6302]

I will have to consider that myself. I am down to one horse right now,( lost one to a severe colic) but he is over 18 hands and I am 77 yrs. Harnessing hasn't become easier.@@zachodom7486

You all are what Americans should be and like I said before your videos are so wholesome and such a pleasure to watch may God bless you and your all's family's! We have such a wonderful God He sure made us something to enjoy when he made the Donkey and the horse. Did you know that Jesus road a cross into Jerusalem when he road the Donkey and carried one out on his back for us? The Donkey is the only animal in the world that has a cross on it. Have a good year I'll post a video of my mules on Facebook when I finish breaking them. There not big mules there line back duns one John and a molly there All I could afford but I love them the molly drives but the John doesn't lead yet I'll get it done though there both almost 14 hand's the mean everything to me though I'm blessed to have them thanks to sexton horse and mules. But at the same time I saved them . all I got is a buggy and buggy harness now I got to save up for work harness and a small wagon. Your friend from the foothills of the Smokey mountains! O yeah it took me from December to the first of this month to get them I'm going to work on them All summer and next winter if that's what it takes. But with God nothing is impossible. Amen

[@zachodom7486]

Hey buddy! Yessir I totally understand what you’re saying. And yes, the donkey always holds a special place in my heart just because of what it done for our lord. I’m proud you got a team. Take your time! Be safe and keep saving! You’ll get to where you want to be in no time. Thanks for such kind words my friend! I surely appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment also. People like you make it worth doing for sure. Take care brother, and do come again, please

Boy Mr summers is nimble

[@zachodom7486]

He gets around good for his age no doubt..

[@terrythomas7035]

Are Pat and pearl different then your mules? Or are they just bigger

[@zachodom7486]

They’re just older. My mules are same size as his. He’s just a smaller man than I am lol. His mules are filled out better than mine are: but mine are still growing too. A mule will spread out until they’re about 6-7 yo. Thank you ma’am for the kind words and for always watching! Take care and do come again, anytime! Please

[@rexdalton7192]

I'm looking for a place to learn how to drive mule can you recommend one

[@zachodom7486]

Where are you located? Best thing if to find someone close by within reason to help you learn and good broke animals to start out with. Any of the Lynn Miller working horses books are great to study.

[@princeali2555]

how in the world was there so much manure in the barn ?

[@zachodom7486]

It’s mostly saw shavings and urine mixed. But there’s some manure in it too.

[@lesterwatson8519]

Why did you not get some footage from directly behind the manure spreader Oh yea, now I know it is the same reason John Deere will not stand behind their manure spreaders. God Bless you my Brother Tell Mr. Summers he has a team of fine mules But he already knows that

[@zachodom7486]
