[QUOTE="MillIronQH, post: 290144, member: 4658"] Mules today are bred for just about anthing you can imagine. There are gaited mules and jumping mules and cutting mules and mules bred to pull. If it's being done horseback it's being done muleback to. Mules have gained so much populaity in recent years that it's not unusual to see one of them sale between $5-10,000 dollars. There is a race track in California that holds mule races. The track record at a mile 1/8 was almost beat by a mule a few years ago. Less then a seconds difference in almost the exact same conditions. A vet I know in Az raises mules out of TWH and Mo. Foxtrotter mare. I've ridden several of them and it's like sliding across a sheet of glass. Mules had a bad rep for many years until someone figured out that it wasn't the mules fault. It was the mamas. In the old days when people farmed with mules and especially on the old plantations people bred their good mares to the stud and their culls to the jack. Bad conformation? No prolem it's only a mule. Bad disposistion? Again no problem the "nigras" were the ones handling them. Today it's not unusual to see five figure mares being led to the jack.Z [/QUOTE]
