Would like to have something to ride someday. What is the difference for riding purposes between a mule and a horse. Can you pen them with cattle ok?
Too long a post to describe all the differences. Some mules will run with cattle some won't. Most will try to get at calves though and not in a good way.
Most mules will do better if caught up all the time. They need to bond with the owner, much like a dog. Send them out on pasture and they get all they need and not need anything from the owner.
