My father had mules our KS farm. His had favorite team that he would work in an away fields, unhitch from the tools in the field and ride the mules with the harness home. One of those mules would would stop suddenly every few days and off the front he would go to the ground. It seemed to know when the time was right. I had an Elk hunting friend that said that a horse would ride right off of a mountain in low light. He swore that you couldn't push a mule off of a mountain. He used to pay for Elk trips by hauling mules from KS/MO to CO, using them to hunt, and then selling them to outfitters before coming home. Good luck.
