How to Halter My Hard to Catch Mule (Works for Donkeys)
Ойын-сауық
Folks, mules are defensive. That is in their nature. Mules and donkeys are not used to having human beings approach them. If your mule has its ears close together and its eyes wide apart that is always a sign that it is a nervous mule.
Only approach your mule when it is facing you. This is an indication that your mule is inviting you over to its space. If your mule has one ear and one eye looking at you, that is a sign to approach slowly. Once your mule's head starts dropping that is an indication that your mule is starting to relax. Always approach the shoulder of the mule.
Using the come-a-long rope on your mule will help build a foundation. In this video, Steve Edwards shows you how to teach ground communication to your mule. Using the Come-A-Long Rope, Steve shows you how to control a nervous mule. The mule moves its head, you bump its nose. The mule looks in a different direction, you bump its nose. When your mule moves its feet, you bump its nose. You want straightness only. Make sure the rope is loose until your mule makes a mistake.

Love this! Thank you! Keep doing what your doing and stay safe! :)
My problem.eith out mule is getting anything around his head. We can approach like this no worries. I have actually rubbed him on the neck with a lead no issues. But go to put anything over his head or around his neck a total different story.
Can u keep horses and mules in same paddock without fighting
