In 1985, I started working with mules and donkeys only; at that time I didn\u2019t want to experience another sick horse on my farm and after losing two, I wanted a stronger equine to show and ride trails. I bought mules at an auction, broke out a couple of mules, and didn\u2019t think it was all that tough to do. I didn\u2019t think I was gifted, I merely thought most people didn\u2019t take the time to study and understand the animal they were working with. Knowing that mules have a different mindset, I acknowledged it, accepted it, and worked with it… All this time, I have been captivated by the mule\u2019s perspective and have been documenting my findings along the way. Looking for a way to develop a higher skill set, I bought mules at more auctions to fine-tune them or correct undesirable behavior issues. I bought mules that reared, kicked, and couldn\u2019t be caught and I couldn\u2019t get enough of it. Every mule I worked with was an individual and no two were alike. That is when I knew…I am now in mule college and I am not sure when I will graduate.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using my creative mind has enabled me to work with a troubled mule, for hours on end. I took the challenge and went to work; the results were remarkable. The late Max Harsha once said, \u201cPack a sandwich in your hip pocket and strap a canteen to your belt, then go to work with that mule.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am passionate about my work and that means I can be emotional. I thank my lucky stars that God is in my heart because I am growing into a better person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are going to take an incredible journey; your outlook on life will change, and you will have laughter in your heart. Your mule will look at you differently. I will share with you how I developed a deeper understanding of my mules and how I worked at cracking the \u201cmule code.\u201d Now let\u2019s go to work…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, the mule is a mirror to your soul . . . Keep honesty in your heart so you like what you see and feel. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
