As someone who's saving up for a mule, I really appreciate all this info.

Sweet Reba ❤.
Thanks a lot Dewayne and also Momma, for filming 😊.

13:45 "too many people, when their training their horse, or training their mule, or training their dog, or training their KID" Great wisdom! Doesn't matter what, or who, you're trying to train it takes effort, time, & consistency!

Excellent video as always, especially appreciate your attention to detail and the time you spend covering each individual thing I could watch videos about horses all day since I ride

[Jules-fhrf]

Great lesson in patience. Really appreciate your most basic breakdown on a green mule. This is how to teach- unlike watching a made horse show off its training for the trainer! Love the sensible foundation you build. You demonstrate how the right baby steps will get you there if you recognize them.

Thank you so much for this video, just purchased my first draft mule today and the saddle he is in fits great but everywhere I looked everyone says I needed a mule saddle. Thank you for the sane and honest words about saddles.

Good morning Dewayne & Mama! Just waking up with my coffee ☕ & vibing with Reba's personality this morning. Mules aren't the only ones who are a little lazy or stubborn at times.😅 Enjoy this beautiful Spring weather!

Great job with the mule Dewayne and all the advice. Can be applied in our everyday lives as well as raising children.praying for you and mommy to have a blessed week .

Hi Dewayne....
Just an Observation here... the whole time throught out the Video, Reba was constantly fussing with the Bit as if it was Bothering her or something was wrong with it.
It kinda looked like it was a little Tight up into her mouth, and the actual rings of the snaffle were trying to go into her mouth.
It kinda looked the Headstall might have been too Snug. ????
I had a Riding Mule for years, and for some reason, I have realized that they can be Fussy about Sensitive ares of their bodys, when it comes to the Fitment of their Equipment. Just an OBSERVATION. F.Y.I.
Have a Great Day.
and Keep Up the GREAT Work. 😊

Been watching your channel since the beginning and you continue to do great things. It's not just your topics but your demeanor, good common sense and insight. I really appreciate you.

Reba’s coming along Dewayne. Looks like forward motion and improvement. I was never around mules until later in my dad’s life he bought a set of draft size mules to hitch to a wagon. I came to really like messing with those two. All that came with the harnessing and hitching was a learning experience to me. Anyway, they grow on you. Yes, they can be stubborn like they’re known for but can’t we all. Thanks for showing us how Reba’s doing. Oh, and those old, vintage saddles you referred to probably had the old “A-fork” tree. Similar but probably more extreme to what you referred to as the 90 x 4. Thanks again sir.

I’ve been watching a ton a mule videos and you answered so many of my questions. Thank you!

[perryseltz]

Another great video, thanks. I've bought several pieces of gear now from Buckaroo Leather and every one has been fair priced and crafted with excellence. I particularly like the brow band headstalls with the buckles for swapping out bits and the bat wing chaps he made me.

I used to have a pair of mules that I used pulling a covered wagon. I was having a problem with one of them and my Dad walked over to me and told me Son you have to be smarter than the animal that you’re training. After I finally figured out what he was talking about, that one mule turned out to be the best of the pair.

👍👍 Inch by inch, row by row; gonna make this garden grow...according to the original song.

[paulafino]

Great video! I myself own and ride mules

[garyb]

Thanks Dwayne, this, old, long time subscriber, enjoys the saddled up videos; but, all are good.

[MuleSkinnerWS]

The saddling information was excellent. I love how simple you kept it. Maybe sometime in a future video you could talk about intervals in pressure and release? For example, that pressure is lost temporarily when shes moves her feet and you have to correct her? I assume reapply the same pressure immediately? How long is an appropriate release period for reward? Maybe kind of novice questions but I want to make sure Im getting this right

I just learned where you are located. I am from the bigger town about 15 minutes west of there.

Had a mule a couple of years back and she had the best handle of any horse or mule I've ever rode. Like a dummy I sold her and wish I never did.
