I've had horses do that. Once, one hesitated 4 or 5 times then suddenly lunged over just like your mule did. It was a very dangerous creek about 4 inches wide, and maybe 2 inches deep. We went right into a fir tree on the other side, crashing branches as we went. Funny happening, but idiot horse.
Mules gather themselves so quietly, you can't feel it coming!! A horse will arch its back and prepare differently...you can feel a horse preparing to jump!! A mule can spring like a deer!! Watch her back feet sneak up underneath her to jump. Poster and rider? Remember what they say about opinions!! Great riding!! Cute Mule!!
Nice- dang - how do these mules know how to gauge that jump? What kind of calculation is going on in that brain??? - Amazing - Here's some other jumps for you - not quite as spontaneous but pretty cool anyway!
thanks for the videos,Im a mule lover,they are so amazing, and some of he places you guys rideI offroad ther.Canyon de Cheely,and southern Utah,someday,Ill run into you with my awesome big black mule
Mules can actually jump better than horses. That's why they stopped letting mules compete in jumpers. We do have an old sport down south called 'coon jumping' that involves dismounting, getting the mule (or horse) to jump a fence, and then remounting (all withing the bounds of a marked box). Comes from coon hunting at night when visibility is less than optional. I'm surprised that the rider stayed on the mule given the rider's seat.
Haha don't you just love it when you decide to do this. My mule Toby refused do walk through a tiny creek. I worked with him for an hour but he still had a skip in his step by the end haha.
my sisters horse did that to the guy who trained only it was about 6 feet and we told him she would do it but he didnt think she would cuz it was a creek
1. It's not my mule. 2. The mule wasn't supposed to jump it, in fact she walked through it the day before I took this. 3. Stop writing rude comments on mine & my friends' videos. You know absolutely nothing about our horses.
@XhorsesXtwilightX She wasn't supposed to jump it... use common sense here. If the guy thought the horse would jump, do you REALLY think he'd pull back like that? Nada...
@LonelyReality08 i want you to tell him something from me: If you can stay on a mule ( or whatever your riding) when their not supposed to jump, that's pretty dang good.
Mules are really perfect for jumping; all that back leg strength is amazing

Did he clear the whole creek? That's really funny! I knew a horse that would jump over shadows, she eventually grew out of that habit lol

I'm always surprised at the amount of people (Even from the country, and even horse people) Who really think mules don't jump.
