Saddlesore I agree with you somewhat I have seen some damn good mules, also seen a lot of dinks. Have a friend that rides a mule, she is pretty handy but has one serious flaw. We were tagging calves in the foothills of the Sierras, brush and oak country. My dogs held up a bunch of cows, may be 10 or 12 pair, and we started roping the calves, of course some cows being good mommas, and because of the dogs decided to fight I had a. A calf roped, cow banging my dumb old pony and me. Ole Gunner, my horse just stood there and took it and kept the rope tight . Becky the good mule scattered, damn near killed
My pard running thru the scrub oaks. Cow wasn't banging her. Worked out for her though as Larry, my pard,never used her for cow work again lol. Dogs finally got the cow off me and I tagged the calf and went and collected Larry lol
