Installing the Come A Long Rope

The Come-A-Long Rope is one of THE BEST training and correction tools you could ever add to your tack room.
Fortunately it's incredibly inexpensive and everyone should have one!
So, you have your come-a-long rope and you go to put it on your mule and, whoops, isn't as easy as you thought it might be. You try again, and again, and again-and now you feel frustrated.
Folks, first off, don't worry. The come-a-long hitch may seem a little tricky at first (and in fact it can be) but stick with it... you will get it and after you do, you'll be off and running.
In this video Steve Edwards of Queen Valley Mule Ranch demonstrates how to install the come-a-long rope and, more importantly, how to use the come-a-long rope for correction and training.
In addition, he'll share with you what you need to be aware of if using the come-a-long rope on smaller animals, say, mini donkeys and how to best keep it in place.

Thank you, Steve. This might come in handy. My two mules got loose this winter in a snow through my electric fence and were awful to catch and get home. Usually they are so easy even in a large pasture. I guess it was was too much chaos with neighbor's dogs and livestock running around plus traffic and I think they were having a blast being free.

Good to hear from you, Marcia... yep, probably having the time of their lives :-)

[@marciabyram6003]

@@muleranch Oh yes, they were bad but I did catch them after they were done with no problem. But I am going to check out that come along hitch. That seems, to me, to be a great tool for training and to keep in my car, barn, or truck to catch escapees even in a disaster like a hurricane or fire. It reminds me of a livestock rope hitch that people use on cattle, goats, and sheep at the fair.

Steve, thank you SO much! A smuch knitting as I do, you'd think I could do this, but half the time I drop the whole business off the mule's face. Now I can see where I go wrong!

Hi Linda, always glad when we hear from you. Will we see you and Theo on today's call?

Hi i

[@craigjohnson9631]

Steve, I've been using this tool since you taught it to us at the mule school at Pierce College. Also works great on an older mule that needs a refresher if they haven't been handled much. Hope all is well. Craig says hi.

[@craigjohnson9631]

That was me, Christy.

It definitely works

Boy does it! Thanks for watching Country Flats!

[@tracyjohnson5023]

That's similar to what I call a war bridle I use on every horse. Much more control

[@muleranch]

Thanks for watching, Tracy! Always good to hear from you. 👍❤️🤠 We talk about this here around the 11:50 marker... Thanks for taking the time to comment! Loved talking about this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZPdZYOLociJqZo

Another great video! Keep up the great work!

My 9 month old donkey doesn’t lead well, he’ll just stand there, maybe give me a step or two, or He will lead if a person is driving him from behind. The biggest issue is he has discovered that if he pulls away he can get away from me, because I’m not strong enough to hang on. Will this help with that issue?

[@abbysparkles8975]

P.S. I just discovered your videos today, and I am learning a lot! Binge watching!

My mule hates you to mess with her ears unless you are scratching the inside. I can't get her to chill out about them.
