Communicating with Mules

In this video Steve reveals some of his time-tested methods for gaining a mule’s respect, including: communication through the bit; handling lines to back, whoa, and turn; using a come-along hitch to build foundation training; halter work to get the mule soft and supple; training a mule to pick up its feet on demand; surcingling to get the mule balanced and ready to carry the bit. Steve explains the importance of training both the left and right side of a mule’s brain, and shows how to tell when your mule is (or is not) in a trainable mood. 2 hour 25 minute DVD
