1 thought on “Communicating with an Ornery Mule”
Thanks, Steve, for the tip about length/distance from the mule to communicate & correct. I noticed you also body-cross the lead rope to your far hand, set at your far hip. I understand the leverage idea, and it may help my terribly bad hands manage Zelda – as she turns to walk off (knowing I can’t really hold her). I’m also shorter/less weight than you…so holding my position as she pulls is an issue. I’ve been following the tips you employ and the comment to us a week or so back on your live chat. I really appreciate that info!! Any more suggestions? =)
Thanks,
Bonny
