Yes, I know that mule quite well. We owned him for a few years, and got along well with him. He has a little bit of a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde type of personality. When he is on his good behavior, he is top of the line. Once in a while something will set him off, and then he goes somewhat bonkers for a spell. At times like this, he gets kind of dancey and prancey, and nervously works up a sweat. His name at Jake Clark's Mule Days was "Willy," but I renamed him "Tanactin"--half-fast actin' Tanactin. I have done a lot of sorting on him, and he kind of watches a cow. I have also used him to drag calves to the branding fire. Had I not got West Nile and screwed up my riding ability, I would probably still own Willy (Tanactin). That and the fact that every year at calving time, he had to be far away from newborn calves. He killed at least one baby calf, and he got his head under a gate and dragged another calf through. Fortunately I saved the calf's life that time. Maybe with more age and more experience, he will turn into a top steed yet.
