<html><P>I see that there is no reasoning with you mule haters....<G> Etienne Provost rode a mule, could have been his excessive weight, or maybe a good amount of mountain savy. Osborne Russell mentions mounting his "favorite mule." I aint saying their better, just that a good one is hard to beat. I own three, that I have been using regular for a long while, and I ain't been kicked nor thrown, by any of them. I figure things were much the same, then as now. If I was gonna buy a whole damn outfit of mules to pack trade plunder to the rockies, I would be taking what I could get. When you buy a remuda, you get some good and some bad. Good mules don't come cheap, most folks get that kicker, when they buy that bargain mule. Most folks want to ride a mule like a horse, and it just won't work. Treat a mule like your partner, instead of dominating him, and he'll treat you well. Now sure as the world, when I feed in the morning, I'll get kicked square in the head and die, and ya'll can say "I told you so."</P>

all. but the fact is, they're smarter than most people and that is a bit of
a scary thing. Especially when you consider, what this bunch does for fun
ain't exactly what is considered NORMAL. <GGG>
When you think about what Russell and those guys did with a herd of green

Subject: MtMan-List: More on Mules
Cantankerous as they may be, they will actally think about some situations.
A horse gets its foot caught in some old wire and it will pull till it
severely lacerates itself...the mule picks its foot up in several directions
till it finds the way out. A horse spooks and will run it and you through a
barbed wire fence...a mule may, but I haven't met one that has yet. AND,
there has to be a reason the Park service chooses to let folks with
absolutely NO riding experience ride mules down to the bottom of steep
canyons rather than horses (last time I was at the South Rim of THE canyon.)
In the middle east centuries ago, mules were preferred by some cultures used
as war mounts. Also, they are pretty good at keeping the coyotes out of the
goats, sheep and calves. And they bite REALLY hard then grin about it.
For what it is worth....

One more reason for me not to like them.
To tell the truth this child ain't had much to do with them critters never
had the need nor the want for one. There voices are to much like finger nails
on a chock board for me to want to spend much time around one.
My ponies have served me well and I haven't had one of them run me through a
fence yet. Cores I know when it's time to get off too. If a horse spooks to
much its time to make meat. Spooky Horses and mountains don't go to gather.

I'm sure mules are like horses there are bad ones and there are some good
ones.
Keep the good ones and make meat out of the bad ones is what I say.

I wear sashes most of the time in my reenacting as a
Habitant/Milicien du Nouvelle France , English Regime
NWCo or American AFCo Voyageur, and 1812 Voyageur
Militiaman personas.
I can attest to the Quality and reasonable Price
offered by "Fingerweaver". I have 2 of her sashes and
some leg ties also (And plan to get more as time goes
on). She uses Some Beautiful Yarn from a source in
Canada, and practices the technique commonly refered
to as "Osage" or "Indian Finger Weaving".
I know of another lady, who's work is historically
unsurpassed, she spins and double spins her yarns by
hand and uses the L'Assomption "Changement"
(pronounced "Shahnj-mahn")Technique, characteristic of
the sashes bearing that name. Contact off list for
info on her if interested.
