Master the Art of Bit Selection & Training for Your Mule or Donkey

You’re out on the trail when your mule suddenly tosses his head, fights the bit, or worse – completely ignores your cues. You’ve tried different bits, but nothing seems to work consistently. Is it the wrong equipment? Your technique? Or is your mule just being stubborn?

Stop struggling and start learning from someone who’s solved these exact challenges thousands of times.

In this comprehensive FREE training video, Steve Edwards shares his 40+ years of experience working with mules and donkeys to help you understand the science and art of proper bit selection and use.

During this valuable training session, you’ll discover:

• Why mule and donkey mouths are fundamentally different from horses (and why horse bits often cause problems)
• The complete bit progression system for both riding and driving
• How to identify when your animal is ready to advance to the next bit level
• The surprising truth about “severe” vs. “mild” bits (it’s not what you think!)
• Which popular bits you should NEVER use on mules and donkeys
• Proper fitting techniques that promote comfort and responsiveness
• How to recognize when your animal is truly “listening” to the bit

Steve explains these concepts through clear demonstrations and real-world examples from his decades of experience training mules across the country.

Whether you’re new to mules and donkeys or have been riding for years, this training will transform your understanding of how bits work and how to use them effectively.
