Halter Training a Mule

In this video you’ll see Steve Edwards halter training a mule using the come-a-long rope, a wax-coated 2-strand rope, and the come-a-long hitch. You’ll see Steve go through lowering the head to install the come-a-long hitch, holding the head in place using ‘comfortable uncomfortable’ language and where to have the rope positioned for maximum communication.
Pulling and tugging on your mule, trying to get her to do what you want, wears on you. It tires you out and steals the joy of owning such an amazing animal. Using the method of ‘ask, tell, demand’ as you halter train, you’ll find yourself in control and you will see your mule respond accordingly. You’ll see in the video, it’s not always easy. This girl resist some of Steve’s communication and you’ll see exactly how he gets her to listen.

I have a mule I used this on when I was without a halter (she is very gentle) but just the weight of it was enough for her to come up behind me and brush her nose on my back to get the rope to slide of the front I just chuckled at how intelligent she was being.

Just wondering the poor little mule has an eye problem, anyone else see this?

[@deborahoconnor9218]

Thank you for addressing her eye and letting me know.

I've rode mules for years it seems when in an extended gallop you can feel them shift in another gear is it possible according to there physical build.

[@chamarystigers8731]
