I’ve read the current mule topic and I was wondering how a mule compares to a horse in back country hunting. Riding is not an issue. I’ve broke colts to have gas money in high school, worked two horse barns during the summers, worked at a horse barn for a little while working at the power company, rode padded walking horses and currently tinkering at my sis in laws thoroughbred rescue. I have owned horses before and got rid of them when my kids were little due to no time. Now that they are all
Riding age and riding I’m considering it again
I’ve always been told they are more sure footed and could tote more gear. I just want to make a good decision considering my boy is still a green rider and we are still ponying my daughter. My wife is a good rider on a solid horse. Is there any down side to them.
I’m partial to a draft mule for myself just because I’m so tall I look dumb on a 15- horse. Other than that a standard mule will be great for my family members.
Any advice or experience will be helpful thank you all
