Great explanation

[@dianacaballero9954]

Sir, so no crupper, what about for pulling a cart or wagon? Crupper or not?

[@muleranch]

Hi Diana, A cruper is part for a wagon, but you also need a britchen. We talk about this around the 35 minute marker on a December 6 program.

Three people called about his saddle but wanted it rigged for a tail crupper. Then the same three people called back within a month to admit they had broken their mule's back with a crupper. Cool story, pal, but the only thing I dislike more than tail cruppers are bull sh*t artists. I'd bet a lot more than chump change that I could set ol' Steve up with an experienced LE interviewer and that story would fold like a cheap suitcase. And anyone else notice how he turned a friendly, inquisitive mule into a mule that flinched and walked away with that harsh, utterly unnecessary kick? (Prick) My grandfather was the real Missouri deal when it came to mules, especially Percheron mule harness teams sold across the U.S., including repeat sales to the U.S. Army. I think he would have booted this sawed off hack into the dirt and taken a strap to him for that.

See you do that with a mule you do not know

Howdy Glenn, thanks for watching!

You had me until you kicked em

Howdy Judy, spent years watching how the lead mare communicates with the mule and tells him what to do. A small kick is nothing compared to the treatment the lead mare will pass along. My philosophy is to keep this animal out of my space because it's either the animal in the hospital or me in the hospital.
