Well saddlesore I can't argue with your post and your right I am short sighted on mules! smile I am prejudice also! but I did say I loved a "good mule".

I sure don't mind hunting off a mule or covering country on a mule, they have always had a place in my remudas, but I hate to cowboy off a mule, they mostly can't run and are not quick enough to suit me and I get agrivated when some mule experts try to challange that statement, it puts them in the mule men catagory that "don't know nothing" IMO.

A mule is a mule and a horse is a horse and they have different diciplines and I see little reason to compare them, but it makes good conversation, and heated arguements! smile
