I hope everyone understands the $50,000.00 is kind of a joke .. but it is something to shoot for Thanks For Watching oh and subscribe I always forget to ask lol

[@Ouachita.Mule.School]

My buddy sold his for 30k!!

[@KidYuma1880]

Brett I didn’t think about $50,000 dollar mule, thought possibly a joke. But none the less, when your liking it that’s worth $50,000-Kid Yuma

[@leshenderson5746]

My dad always told me that to train an animal you had to be smarter than the animal!!😅

[@russelldrey8678]

I think you’re in the ballpark I recently watched a video on a mule at action that went for 30G because it was well trained

[@lindawarrell4281]

Just remember you don’t build a foundation in a short time, foundation takes some time but in the end, it’ll be worth your time. Never give up!

[@kandes49]

With the gentleness and restraint you show your animals it isn’t surprising they turn out to be such good partners. Really impressive!

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you .. I do try

[@Hooch454]

My cousin compares a mule to being more like a big dog than a horse. After owning for 10 years I think my cousin is right.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I believe that too .. they are different thanks

[@ernieconway6116]

She stands really well. Just don't get in a big hurry. Patience is a virtue!

[@johngriffith610]

She does need to learn she is not a lap dog. Like she follows you around needing your attention. She is a pretty mule but she is not Agnes. Same way you can’t compare wives. Just my .02cents. Never owned a horse or mule. Only been married to one woman for 37yrs and still counting. Come to think of it , I don’t know what I’m talking about. 😁 God Bless

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol thats ok .. half the time I don't know what I'm talking about either .. and I put it on youtube for the world to see lol Thanks

[@zephyr1408]

Now that was funny!

[@patriotpreacher43]

Glad to see you spend time with her. And you brought Fat Lori, too!

[@codywalker8408]

Beautiful mule

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you .. I like her hope she turns out as good as she looks

[@skipallert8839]

The good mules I had no one could buy, no one could buy my best hat either.

[@backwoodscountryboy1600]

I can see where you been around the mule and just talking to the camera and how the mules reacting I sometimes wonder if the mule thinks you're talking to her and if so I think that helps a lot. I'm glad you're making this video. I don't know a damn thing about horses or mules but I know it don't hurt for me to learn how to train one because one day I may need to if we have to go back to riding mules and horses you're training me too LOL, yep you're training me too.

[@mikewyd53]

If anyone ever has a mule bond with them, they will never forget it. Smart, willing and dependable. And once they bond with you, they want to go somewhere and do things. Incredible animals, thanks, Bret!

[@lestergrigsby594]

It's a pleasure watching you work with your Mule, Looks like she will work great!🤠

Thank you Todd

[@virginiajorgensen8614]

I always love watching you with your mules.

[@stevemccoy8138]

Hi Brett , Maybe you are the MULE WHISPERER. Hopefully you and Bonnie will get along well. Safe Travels. 😊

[@Capt._John]

Great video Mr. Brett. Looking forward to seeing her progress

[@thomasmcconnell2898]

Bret, you are spot on. With a mule the first thing one has to develop is their trust of you. When I first acquired Sam and Sadie (Belgian draft mules), though fully broke and well trained, they were standoffish and stiff, so to speak. But when I finally earned their trust they became an amazing team that loved to work. I got into some real predicaments on the steep hillsides here in Missouri and they were rock solid safe, totally surefooted, and smart. It was a real pleasure working with them.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Sounds like a good pair .. yes me Bonnie are really hitting off good .. I have more videos coming Thanks!

[@toddgross4617]

I've got some of Brad Cameron videos on how to train mules little tricks. They're really good videos. I don't know whether he has DVDs now but I have the video form . He's the son of Dell. Cameron that used to write in Christian full cry magazine so blue tick hounds .

[@TheNoonie50]

My mule Bart, loved to go out with me alone, BUT, if he got left behind, he'd battle ram the short wall on the stall until he knocked it down. $1.99 cent mule lol (just kidding). Love these videos where you're way out in the middle of nowhere.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you .. she's doing pretty good .. and I have some confidence in her now

[@skipper9400]

it's never about the destination Bret....the Journey is the fun part.......have lots of fun with her, and she will look forward to going WITH you.........OnWard......

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes .. it is about the Journey Thanks

[@cherylblankenship3833]

What a lovely mule.

[@KidYuma1880]

Brett, just watching this video. I think some patience with Bonnie, her ears wiggling are saying I am listening to you. She seems to pay attention also when trotting to left, looking good you said to right not bad. I believe has some potential like Agnus was only time will tell as you know that. Bonnie is a beautiful & hopeful mule, good luck Brett.-Kid Yuma

[@michaelCrusader90]

Your absolutely right patience is the key, you got nothing but time. No sense in risking it and possibly getting hurt. I think she just needs some more confidence and like you say bonding. She’s definitely willing to please and wants to be a partner, she’s just not sure how yet. Great video I look forward to y’all’s progress and more videos God Bless sir.

[@gregferre4318]

I had a mule I broke that snorted, showed the whites of his eyes, kicked, bucked, ran away with me, you name it he tried it. Had friends bet me I couldn’t break him. I had him 7 years. After I got him broke you could shoot off him, haul anything on him, ride him anywhere, but I still just had a bronc that you could ride😂 The moral of my story is that you might as well spend all the time on a good one that’s been imprinted and likes to be with you. That mule was just hard to love. But I enjoyed the challenge. Even won a team roping on him once. Anyway I enjoy your videos 👍

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you .. yes someone did a lot of work on this mule .. I sure don't want to work with any broncs .. Thanks

[@ChollaJJ]

For a sight unseen purchase,I think you did super. I bought a sight unseen , 5 month old Quarter horse colt, 18 years ago, still in my barn ,we are bonded,😉. I was near to your stomping grounds a couple weeks back….Alpine Az…..well, about 150, 200 miles north, maybe ? Thanks for the ride Brett. 🤠👍

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Yes some north and west .. Thanks

[@btgoble]

Wow this is so good to see you taking it slow. Bonnie will sure be a better mule for it. Love how she lets the dogs just run under her. Really enjoying this slant on your journey through life. Tracey (Australia).

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Thank you Tracy .. yeah she is a nice Mule .. they did a good job on her before I got her ..

[@davidsawchak1330]

I just can't get over how dang pretty she is lol!

Yes she is a pretty mule .. Thank you

[@doubleduty1703]

That’s a really good looking mule . Enjoy watching your process

[@skipallert8839]

I agree with what you are doing. Been around mules must of my life, each one is different. Keep up the good work.

[@wh8085]

Really enjoying this , learning some stuff from ya. Stuff I should have learned years ago.Don't know that I will ever get to use it but that's ok. It's still good to know. All or most of the horses I ever knew fed me some arena dirt and went their way ! LOL ! I was mostly there for the dancing with those cow girls later anyways ! Aaahh to be 18 again , wouldn't that be something !

[@CameronMcCreary]

Nice looking mule. Hopefully, Bonnie doesn't drop dead behind the trailer.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Well lets hope not ... you are joking right ?

[@CameronMcCreary]

@@BrettVaughnB100 Yes Brett I was joking. It just reminded me of National Lampoon's Vacation movie.

[@jerrodhawbaker7985]

Thank you so much I really enjoy your videos of working with your mules. I’m an old city slicker. I don’t know anything about farming. Don’t know anything about horses. The only thing I know anything about is two dogs once again thank you I really enjoy your videos a whole lot.

Dang Brett, looks like you’ve always been mounted good. Those are some good looking horses you used to have.

[@caseG80]

She was a lot better with the dogs this time when you let them out then last video you had your back to her in both videos during her reaction very calm this go around cheers

[@marklowe330]

Be it right or be it wrong, we had a horse that would lean back and break whatever you had her tied with. We took 2 halters and tied her to a telephone pole with a log chain. She fought it. She was sore enough she never broke anything again. I love the way you tie her to the trailer and go for a slow drive.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

What ever works .. Thanks

You are the man, and you know best for what you need so go with it my friend... 💯👍

Thanks 👍 I will keep trying

That mule stands there like she is a good one. I've seen a few good mules but never owned one of them. I could usually connect with a horse but me and mules are both wired different

[@larryreese6146]

Never had a mule but i had a horse almost as smart as a mule when i was a kid. When i got married the wife and i decided to make a garden. I hitched up the horse to the plow and decided to have the wife lead him as i followed with the plow. Now, id handled that horse since he was 3 days old and he liked people. He'd follow you anywhere but i was never able to make him walk to the side. Hed follow right on your heels. Well, the wife started leading with the horse following close and breathing on top of her head. The faster she walked the faster the horse walked. Soon the plow and i were following at a trot. We did a quick job of plowing but the rows werent that straight. Finally she took to her heels while still holding the reins, the horse following right along. Looking over her shoulder and fleeing for her life the wife tumbled right into the biggest blackberry patch in the field. I'll have to say, after we pulled her out, that the horse and i took the tirade in good order. But i could tell that old horse had his feelings hurt. He had his head drooped, his ears flopped, and i could swear he had tears in his eyes.

[@glennm2716]

I never was around horses much growing up. I married into a horse family. My father-in-law was a horse trainer. He taught me everything I know (which still isn't much). I've trained our 2 horses not broke them trained them. They are kid gentle. I understand what you are doing, coaxing them to do what you want in a stern but gentle way. If that makes sense. I've gotten off my wifes horse while riding in a group and when they started leaving she stayed with me. She would leave the herd to come to me when they were out in the pasture. Ground work is the key. She never was afraid of the blanket or saddle the first time so I thought I'd get on her. She just turned her head and sniffed my boots on each side. I gained her trust all because of the ground work and would do anything I would ask, when she figured out what I was asking. I enjoy watching you work with her, it brings back memories of my father-in-law. I'm also picking up tips even though my wife and I don't ride anymore for health reasons. I told my wife we should sell them because someone else can enjoy them. She put her foot down and said. "NO! MY HORSES WILL DIE IN MY PASTURE".
