[QUOTE="chippie, post: 378605, member: 5644"] An equine's back is the last thing to mature. Years ago I raised and showed donkey's and mules. They were started driving at 20 to 24 months, and started under saddle at 3. They are extremely smart. People think that they are stubborn, but they are cautious and will not do anything they do not understand or that may harm them. If I were you, if you haven't already done so. Ground drive your mule for about a year. Get him going and teach him to pull a slide. When it is time to ride him, he will know the commands and cues, and the transition to under saddle is smooth. You'll have a versatile animal too. Re: the Civil War My son is a Civil War reenactor and history buff. The men back then on average were much smaller than men are now. If you ever have the opportunity to visit a musuem which has a uniform display, you will be surprised how small the uniforms are. [/QUOTE]
