  • love the video, love seeing the mules work and for people who dont mules... pretty much if they didnt want to do it... they wouldnt LOL

  • @apache4541 Mules work better on rough terrain.. A mule uses their front feet for most of the pulling power while a horse's pulling strength mostly comes from the rear legs. This allows the mule to be more agile in tighter areas. Like tvick said, it's mostly tradition now, but there is a reason for it. I've worked both animals since I was a kid and mules are far better for working in 'tough' areas. The Amish don't use them though because they believe that breeding horses with burrows is wrong.

  • unknown to all who like to bitch without knowing, horses and mules aren't cartoon Ponies, they are animals that like to have a purpose, focus, and who like to work. oh, yes. equids, if treated nicelly, LIKE to work, to go out and interact with people. they PREFER it to being bored on pasture.

    always funny to see people who know nothing cause the most noise! before you start bitching about working animals being abuse, DO YOUR HOMEWORK!

  • Mules are fuckin strong animals, they have more towing capacity than any honda or toyota vehicle

  • this is what they'er bread to do nothing cruel about it.. ppl that think it is. must be the tree huggin type. and not frm the south

  • @milkeatscereal Really, What do you do?? Trees grow back and animals like to work. Too bad people are so lazy now a day's. They wouldn't know how to hitch a team if their life depended on it. Maybe someday it will.

  • If they didn't like doing it they wouldn't do it. :)

  • That four up team was great. GREAT VIDEO

  • @tvick3544 its what my papaw used , he had a mule from the time when he was a boy till he was about 85 years old, hes 91 now and aint able to keep one
