What he didn't realize about our area is we have tough trails here too. No we don't climb 10,000 ft but we climb more often and steeper. Our hills are very short compared to those pulls we made out west but like I said many more of them and we don't switch back and forth. I've got good friends that have hunted Colorado for years and years and the riding we have here gets their mules in shape for what they do.

Very well said about a good mule being better than a good horse and a bad mule being worse than a bad horse. The mules do look more mountain'ish though.....grin
