MULE COUNTRY: Exploring Custer State Park (S1 EP1)

Join us as we leave Idaho and head for the Black Hills of South Dakota!
We make a stop along the way to participate with our mules at a Buck Brannaman Clinic before heading on to the French Creek Horse Campgrounds in Custer State Park.
Come along as we ride in Custer State Park and take in all the wonderful sights it has to offer. We go on a search for bison, mule-back and find a couple big bulls along the Centennial trail.
It would mean a ton to us if you would hit that subscribe button. Thank you all for your continued support and positive comments.
We want to thank everyone that's purchased apparel from us. If you want to check out our Mule Merch visit the link below:

    Loved the ride-along. Loved your mules, so sure-footed and beautiful. Visited Custer State Park a couple of years ago and loved seeing the bison, prong horned deer and the prairie dogs. Look forward to another of your adventures.

    Great show. You guys are on it. The story of the mule and all the adventures you can have with them has been missing from the video and documentary world. Congratulations and keep it up. I’ve spent a lot of time in those hills. The facility in Custer looked really nice. Due south of Custer at Fort Robinson State Park near Crawford NE is a place you should ride next time you get that far East.

    @@MTN_BUILT I'm a core rider in the park for the buffalo Roundup. Getting them gathered up to go in the smaller pasture for the actual roundup is alot more fun than the big event where everyone watches. That fire trail you were on, fisherman flats. We had a couple stubborn cows not wanting to go where we wanted them to go. So fast hard riding through that area. It's fun

    That campground actually has showers and hookups for trailers… it’s really nice 😊 Getting one soft that has already learned to brace is a long, slow process (at least for me). But the best way to obtain softness is to always offer a soft feel, and slowly progress toward firmness until you get a response- then release the pressure. Eventually that first soft offer will mean something to them 😊

    Thanks so much for subscribing 😊 I’d say the best way would be to either find a friend who has horses or to work seasonally on a guest ranch. That way you can learn the ropes from someone who has some experience 😊 It’s pretty intimidating to try to learn everything on your own. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have more questions down the road 😊
