What do you guys think? I was thinking about getting a mule in the future at some point, all we do is trail ride. I was surprised to see that there are gaited mules when I was messing around online. What are the pros/cons to mules vs horses.
They are not necessarilly any better than horses. They are more narrow in the frame which may require you to change your saddle. I spent a week trail riding and camping with two guys with mules and all they did was tell me how my horse would not be able to handle the rough terrain we were on, my 17 hand horse out did them every inch of the way. I think mules are supposed to handle heat better.
