Why are cowboys jumping if they don't know anything about jumping? Go with the mule over the jump. Lean forward, not backward. Jumps are a lot more comfortable for mule and rider if there is some momentum coming up to the jump. Doing jumps like shown in this video is a way to get the mule to not enjoy jumping. And we all know that if a mule doesn't enjoy something it's going to be to be darn near impossible to get him to do it.
So I guess the "extreme" part of hopping over a little log is pretending that you didn't just bust your taint on your saddle horn? Ha.
Western riders are so cute. Little girls taking English lessons are jumping over actual fences and you hop a western man over a log and he's grinning ear-to-ear.
I don't know shit about mules, I'll admit that but I DO know that they can be stubborn and if that mule couldn't easily carry that guy, he would've thrown him off. Besides, aren't they pack animals? That means they're supposed to carry a lot of weight, right?
I think everything was fine, until I saw the mule's mouth gaping at the end. Must have put quite a bit of pressure on that bit....Maybe just be cautious to give him his head when he lands?
poor mule.... fat ass noob of a man, what's wrong with trotting into it? felt so bad for the poor little thing with that weight land on his back so hard and his mouth at the end...
I was reading some of the negative comments and think people need to find their sense of humour ! ( maybe under that ol log ? ) Everyone was having a good time in this vid and that includes the mule , I still giggle at that poor rider though !
ahha watching this brings back memories from the first trail ride I took my horse pepper. she could jump anything from a stand still. being a Walker/Arab Cross I was amazed we didnt fall cause I thought she couldnt jump at all. :)
@BlancheDubois Your comment shows that you know very little about mules. It would serve you to spend some time riding with mules, they are extremely hearty and the guy riding is not a big guy to begin with...
Its not the fact that this mule jumped a log from a standstill. It's how there is a huge man on his back who lands incredibly heavily afterwards and who pulls sharply at his mouth in a bridle in which you do not need a lot of pressure on the reins at all in order for it to hurt. This poor animals back and mouth must be very painful if this is a habit!
@ClipClopxox Lol well I think this was a fluke thing, the guy lost his seat... then lost his balls. That's a thousand pound mule and probably a 200 pound guy... I'm sure the impact was more on that mans nut sack then it was the mule HAHAHA!
Ya that is awesome. But don't be doing that too often, didn't you see the huge impact the guy made on that mule's back? it looks painful to me to be getting a full male weight smacking on my back you know
@DylantjeMijnPaard ye well you know the expression; stubborn as a mule? you know why that is? Because you cant force a mule to do anything he/she doesn't want to
lol trust me,as a mule owner, if this mule didn't want to jump the log he wouldn't have!! lol he would have put the rider in the dirt before he ever did something he didn't want to do!
@TheCrazyHorseLady Thank you CrazyHorseLady,,,,,it seems that every one on youtube is an expert on horse and mule training!! The guy riding (Mike) is very well experienced in mule riding and training, he has been riding for 30+ years. It was simply one of those funny riding moments we all have had while out with friends...
People should really learn about an animal before they judge. Mules NEVER do anything they dont want to, the are known for there stubboness!! Mules CAN jump from standing unlike horses who need a run up. This mule was getting ready to jump cos he enjoys it. If he didnt that guy would have been on the floor NOT still on his back lol x
That mule wasn't forced, it was just getting itsself ready, like a cat doing the but wiggle before it jumps, if it didn't want to jump that log it would have walked around it and no amount of urging in the world would have gotten it to do any different. Nice mule dude.
Apperantly you are not aware that it is dang near impossible to get a mule to do something it does not want to do! The mule jumped the log because it wanted to, thats what these mules are trained for. THis is not the first time>
THIS PEICE OF BULLSHIT ASS VIDEO DID NOT MAKE MY DAY!! IT JUST PISSES ME OFF BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT WAS STUPID!!(FALSE ADVERTISEMENT) AND MY MOTHER KICKED ME OUT OF THE HOUSE!(IM FUCKING 14) SHES TRYIN TO SEND ME TO MICHIGAIN!(WHERE MY FATHER LIVES) AND I NEEDED SOMETHING TO MAKE MY DAY!! AND WAT THE FUCK?!?!?! THIS JUST PISSED ME OFF MORE!
@cenarules2009yeah Look fuck this video... and i feel sorry for you that you must do something that you dont like so how about you watch 1 funny video and is about 1 min or something,but must watch all the way..and i belive this will make your day..search for:WRONG STEP...and look for beach picture.
@crazycritters007 Mule, Horse, Donkey, near the same thing. But i still dont understand why you said, 'you dont force your 'mules' to do things. Well you forced it over the log!
@xtwilightxhorsesx you know what, oh wait you don't. if he had forced the mule over, he'd use a damn crop/whip and spur him over, but he didn't. He gave the mule the reins and clicked a few times. That was it. The mule only backed up to get a bit of momentum.
@xtwilightxhorsesx You have obviously never riden a mule. When they say that you "Can't" force a mule to do anything they mean it just like it sounds. Mules are hard headed and stubborn, but don't mistake that for dumb. They know what they can and can't do. And if they don't want to do it, they wont. And you cannot convince them otherwise, once they made up their mind its made. And it wasn;t forced if you watch him/her, he/she is looking for a good spot to jump, willingly.
@MyLittlePinecone You can't really be "too big" for a mule. They can carry a good bit more than a horse. Please don't say things like this if you do not understand mules.
Pete is just fine. He is an awesome mule and has jumped this log a million times! :) He is wonderful in the rocks and rough terrain. So until you ride him or ride with him......Dont Judge. Mules jump from a stand still. They do not need a running start like horses, and he is built like a brick.
@OblivionSs4 Actually, when people riding western encounter logs on the trail and there is no way to get around them, they are forced to jump or turn back, so it's a good idea to learn to jump western, just in case. Mules are a lot stronger than horses are too, and they are very good jumpers. It's ok to jump with a western saddle on, just not often.................retard ;)
The mule would not have jumped it if it was not sure it could. I own a mule and ride her at my ranch through some of the thickest land you could ever think of. Had the mule not wanted to jump it, it would not have. No amount of spurring would have made it do it. I see nothing wrong with this vid; Western saddles are fine for jumping. Mules can jump like jack rabbits and are so much stronger than horses. This animal probably leads a much better life than some barn sour round pen queen.
@sohcsarewicked I've no idea who the bloke is, but I'm guessing a pony the same size couldn't have carried him, and mules are much stronger, lessening the impact felt, so the mule was most likely better off than him.
I think that since the mule got nervous, take him back around with a faster gait with more energy and he would be smoother. And with a better approach. He was very good and since you obviously ride western, you don't know two point, but don't pound his back or yank his mouth please!!!
@Lordsangels03 I don't think mules will jump things running at a gallop like a horse will. I could be wrong, but most all videos of mules jumping, they jump when right at the object, not running up to it.
i think that was a bit harsh the man should of gav him a little run up not just stood him there and exspected him to jump on the spot i know there not horses but served the man right for geting hurt.
@07bstatham That's how mules jump. You should see some of the shows mules are entered in. The jumping they can do from a stand still is pretty amazing.
@no1horselover cruelty??? go watch a rodeo video or a bullfighting video, thats cruelty for ya. this mule is living great, adventurous life, he has a better life than some PEOPLE, in countries like africa. dont you worry your stupid lil head about the mule
thats cruel! u can tell that poor mule doesnt want to jump it but he was forced to! it looks good to people but doesnt fel good to the mule would you like it if you had a metal bar through your mouth and a heavy person and saddle on your back kicking your ribs to make you jump over a tree! no? didnt think so!
@leeleeebabesxxx your a fucking retard. what good would horses or mules be if people didnt ride them. that mule wwas just scared cuz he didnt think he could do it, but with the help of his rider he overcame his fears and now he is very proud of him self. i bet you didnt look at it that way.
@leeleeebabesxxx wow settle, im not tryin to be mean, but to some animals its not lik that, most of the horseand mules i ride are willing to please its in there nature, im not saying your point isnt right or anythin, im just letting you see my side of it. thank you for ya time.
yerr i get your point... atleast you are sensible about it :@ and the horses and mules i ride abseloutely hate this sort of thing!!! n ye all horse breeds are willing to please- but people dont say that when the horses and mulesare willing to please humans at the slaughter house where they do as they're told so they can die so i sont see why making this anilmal do something it didnt want to do any different ................. ya see MY point?
@thubtenwangmo Considering mules are used for log pulling, among many other heavy weight uses, I think the "fat man" isn't doing any damage to the mule. People forget, these animals weigh over 1200lbs. A few hundred pound man is easy for these animals. Mules are one of the most surefooted animals too. They are the cats of the horse world. If the mule felt the jump would hurt HIM, he wouldn't have done it.Mules think for themselves, and take longer to bond with because of their independent streak
Very funny video....lol, though that landing muct have really hurt!!! I have jumped my own horse from a standstill and the landing is not always the best...
Lol that TOTALLY reminds us of this guy at the barn I ride at when he jumps he lands on the horn just like this unlucky dude! LOL try doing a half seat next time! Maybe you won't find yourself on the horses butt!
okay this annoys me when people say how " cruel" it is for them to do that to that mule. i have mules myself, and they are known for carrying up to 1/3rd of their body weight. they arent like horses, they are SO much stronger, so that rider probably wasnt that much of a burden. mules are extreme athletes, so this wasnt cruel. i feel worse for the guy than the mule
Apart from an oversized rider, what is also cruel is the way he/she tears its sensible mouth after the jump. Clearly not an experienced rider. Poor animal.
@shepherd406 Oh, are they also known for having a full-grown man slam down on their backs while jumping? I wasn't aware that was part of their reputation of jumping! Seriously, do you really think that has no effect on their spine?
LOL what a good mule! I cant believe that poor guy didnt keel right over out of the saddle with that! Jumping a log that size is easier on your body if you have some momentum going before you try it. Energy goes over it instead of straight up! lol Good times
Excuse me, but if you haven't noticed many horses will do these things on their own. And we have been breeding horses for many yearsso they are suited for us now. And if you are against it, why are you watching these videos? Seems to me like you're the ignorant one.
Why do people think 'extreme' is good? I doubt if that jump was very good on that poor critter's front legs. They weren't made to carry humans and their equipment on the flat, much less over a jump. But we humans just have to make them do it for our own 'pleasure'. It's all about the ego of the humans. Sad.
no it wasn't thought out as I saw the statement after 11 last night. Why do you even mention the consitution? lol. yes I know about that
I do a lot of Craig Cameron's Extreme Cowboy Races, does that make me a bad person then? This is a sport that is taking off and is so much fun! my little mare does everything without hesitation and loves it. She's a little mountian goat. lol
Why are cowboys jumping if they don't know anything about jumping? Go with the mule over the jump. Lean forward, not backward. Jumps are a lot more comfortable for mule and rider if there is some momentum coming up to the jump. Doing jumps like shown in this video is a way to get the mule to not enjoy jumping. And we all know that if a mule doesn't enjoy something it's going to be to be darn near impossible to get him to do it.

The mule would not have jumped it if it was not sure it could. I own a mule and ride her at my ranch through some of the thickest land you could ever think of. Had the mule not wanted to jump it, it would not have. No amount of spurring would have made it do it. I see nothing wrong with this vid; Western saddles are fine for jumping. Mules can jump like jack rabbits and are so much stronger than horses. This animal probably leads a much better life than some barn sour round pen queen.

sohcsarewicked 1 year ago
@sohcsarewicked I've no idea who the bloke is, but I'm guessing a pony the same size couldn't have carried him, and mules are much stronger, lessening the impact felt, so the mule was most likely better off than him.

I think that since the mule got nervous, take him back around with a faster gait with more energy and he would be smoother. And with a better approach. He was very good and since you obviously ride western, you don't know two point, but don't pound his back or yank his mouth please!!!

hahaha he hit his nuts hehehe not laughing at the mule he was fine but they shouldn't jump in western saddle over something that high without speed
Lordsangels03 1 year ago
@Lordsangels03 I don't think mules will jump things running at a gallop like a horse will. I could be wrong, but most all videos of mules jumping, they jump when right at the object, not running up to it.

@Timothy2035 they haave to gain speed the sopping comes fro the donkey horses and donkeys can't jump without stoping or slowing speed

thats cruel! u can tell that poor mule doesnt want to jump it but he was forced to! it looks good to people but doesnt fel good to the mule would you like it if you had a metal bar through your mouth and a heavy person and saddle on your back kicking your ribs to make you jump over a tree! no? didnt think so!
leeleeebabesxxx 1 year ago
@leeleeebabesxxx your a fucking retard. what good would horses or mules be if people didnt ride them. that mule wwas just scared cuz he didnt think he could do it, but with the help of his rider he overcame his fears and now he is very proud of him self. i bet you didnt look at it that way.

@leeleeebabesxxx wow settle, im not tryin to be mean, but to some animals its not lik that, most of the horseand mules i ride are willing to please its in there nature, im not saying your point isnt right or anythin, im just letting you see my side of it. thank you for ya time.

thubtenwangmo 1 year ago
@thubtenwangmo Considering mules are used for log pulling, among many other heavy weight uses, I think the "fat man" isn't doing any damage to the mule. People forget, these animals weigh over 1200lbs. A few hundred pound man is easy for these animals. Mules are one of the most surefooted animals too. They are the cats of the horse world. If the mule felt the jump would hurt HIM, he wouldn't have done it.Mules think for themselves, and take longer to bond with because of their independent streak

He had to stand in his saddle! Yes, it does indeed hurt...
The mule had to take a lead. It is very difficult for him to jump from standing.

kryspy256 1 year ago
okay this annoys me when people say how " cruel" it is for them to do that to that mule. i have mules myself, and they are known for carrying up to 1/3rd of their body weight. they arent like horses, they are SO much stronger, so that rider probably wasnt that much of a burden. mules are extreme athletes, so this wasnt cruel. i feel worse for the guy than the mule
poopy1728 1 year ago
Apart from an oversized rider, what is also cruel is the way he/she tears its sensible mouth after the jump. Clearly not an experienced rider. Poor animal.
SuperHanne84 1 year ago
Ok. This isn't cruel. Ever seen mule jumping? They do it from a stand still. Mules & donkeys are KNOWN for their jumping abilities.

@shepherd406 Oh, are they also known for having a full-grown man slam down on their backs while jumping? I wasn't aware that was part of their reputation of jumping! Seriously, do you really think that has no effect on their spine?

LOL what a good mule! I cant believe that poor guy didnt keel right over out of the saddle with that! Jumping a log that size is easier on your body if you have some momentum going before you try it. Energy goes over it instead of straight up! lol Good times

Excuse me, but if you haven't noticed many horses will do these things on their own. And we have been breeding horses for many yearsso they are suited for us now. And if you are against it, why are you watching these videos? Seems to me like you're the ignorant one.
Weaponsmaster8595 2 years ago
Why do people think 'extreme' is good? I doubt if that jump was very good on that poor critter's front legs. They weren't made to carry humans and their equipment on the flat, much less over a jump. But we humans just have to make them do it for our own 'pleasure'. It's all about the ego of the humans. Sad.

I have many years experience with horses and their injuries. I've seen them suffer due to human ego and pride.
Your rude language simply shows how immature and ignorant you are, otherwise you would have provided a well thought out reply supported with facts.

no it wasn't thought out as I saw the statement after 11 last night. Why do you even mention the consitution? lol. yes I know about that
I do a lot of Craig Cameron's Extreme Cowboy Races, does that make me a bad person then? This is a sport that is taking off and is so much fun! my little mare does everything without hesitation and loves it. She's a little mountian goat. lol
