Keep up with him. He will get it in time. Soooooo glad I raised mine from birth. My uncle did not and he didn't call me or my Dad for any tips and had to have his face reconstructed. Don't know if his mule was mean or scared. You will be fine. That's a pretty coloured mule. I guess he is dun? Looking forward to more content on him. P.S. my uncle was an idiot. He thought he knew it all but my Dad bought his first horses for him there was a great age span in their years.
