Looks like there is a good market for Mules, are you going in the mule business now.

Daughter called she had a big wreck riding a mule today, she had the rhythm down but when the bridle broke on each side just above the bit she bailed and hit hard. She did call her mom and dad tonight….

Probably not. I'm just hoping the two mules we already own might be worth more now than they were before. :wink:

Sorry to hear about your daughter's wreck. I've had a swelled up leg ever since my mule wreck nearly two months ago, and the swelling is just now starting to recede. 99% of mules give the rest of them a bad name. :wink:

Seems like I could dedicate 100% of my time to riding two mules per year and make a good living after topping that sale. :cowboy: After feed and other expenses maybe I'd have to ride three to really live high on the hog.

Perhaps I'm overlooking something? Oh yeah, I don't really know how to get along with a mule, much less make a good one. Every get-rich-quick scheme has a major flaw. :cry2:
