[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 378994, member: 3398"] MillIornQH, I started working with him when he was just a few hours old. And he was doing just about like what you are talking about. I mean when ever i walked into the pasture he would come running. He was actually sort of a pest. He would walk up to you and for some reason he always wanted to lay his head on your sholder. My 11 year old girl could pony him arround in the arena. And she would even take her kid saddle that she had out grown and put it on him while ponying him arround. But after i had him castrated i can not hardly get him to come near me now. Because he was not use to nobody but me and my family. When the vet came out to castrate him. He just went squirrely. The only way we could hold him for the vet to sadate him was to use a nose twitch on him. So that was a bad experience for him. And i have another problem. Right after he was born i had the mare bred back and got another mule ( a female or i guess you would call it a molly ?) out of her. So it and the horse mule are just about 1 year in age apart. This molly is as wild as wild can be. I can not even get close to her. But i am going to have to get her to where i can catch her or i am going to loose her. When she gets to big to handle if she stays the way she is now. I wont be able to do anything with her. Mules are something else to work with. [/QUOTE]
