What that poor mule has to put up with: cruelty! Whipping beside her, man standing on her back, the blower on her back, etc. This is NOT fun; but rotten cruelty. The rider is using rotten, cruel spurs, too! STOP IT! 😡🙋♀️🇭🇲
Sad.. the fact it’s gaited it should have been broken in by the age of 5 not sooner. The horse was a gaited horse and those bones fuse toghter or are done growing at 5ish for a mule also. I owned allot of horses also a icelandic mare and stallion. The mare got to be 34 years old. The fact racing horses are finished at young age is because they are broken in at such a young age 2/3 years. This mule is 4 and it’s completely soulless. A horse mule donkey should be a full grown animal first and be able to enjoy life before it’s put to work for 25 years. Just sad poor thing🤔
@@truthjester thats why my horses got to be so old… yeah well I don’t know shit but more than you! Poor animals put to work before they even know how to be a horse or a mule😑👎
Animals do have a bit of that emotion, but nowhere near what we do. If she was exposed to a similar environment at home, she would not think anything of it.
There are clues to look for regarding that, but I don't know them all. The eyes and mouth of course, and in male animals their male parts can hang out and droop, in a very different way from when they are stimulated.
Obviously you aren't that familiar with training of horses/mules. You can tell that this mule was taught to do things out of love and not force. It just takes more time to do it the right way and doesn't ruin their spirit. This mule was taught the right way and I'd have her in a heartbeat.
@@lolaweigel8613 No I'm not familiar with training of horses/mules but I am familiar with the fact that this mule can show affection and is not just a beast to be used for ones entertainment. So all that training put into this mule and it is sold off like nothing for a cheap price. So where does it go when no one buys it and after it can no longer serve its entertainment purposes? Now that I am familiar with!
@@vivianbmoscato6478 It is not trained like that for entertainment purposes. Anyone looking for a horse/mule, especially as a novice would want a horse/mule exactly like this. You want one that isn't going to jump or try to take off if they have a bag blow in front of them or flags flapping or dogs coming after you. If you get in a tight space, an animal like this will help you get out of it. if you have to open or close a fence and don't want to get off your horse/mule, this one will allow you to do that. Take it from a short person, I can't get off unless I have something high enough to stand on so I can get back on. So it's not for entertainment. It's for safety more than anything. You don't have to worry about them not getting sold either. Anyone who has horses, especially if they have grandkids or friends who want to ride or learn to ride would want this mule in a heartbeat. I work with special needs kids in a therapeutic riding program and an animal like this is exactly what we look for. A horse/mule like this is worth it's weight in gold. I'd buy her right now if I wasn't at the age where you don't replace your horses anymore. As a matter of fact, I tried to find a gaited mule because they are extremely smart and great on trails. So don't you worry about this mule not getting sold. This is what people are looking for.
You don't have to abuse an animal to train them. First of all, they want to please you and do what you want. Once you show them that what you are doing isn't going to hurt them, they will do whatever you want. It may take a little longer to train them without force but this is the result. They love you and just want to please you.
garymartingary This mule has been treated with nothing but kindness. You can tell by the way she's acting. It started with gentle touching and rubbing the face and neck areas with your hands. This is to let the mule or horse know that your touching is a good thing. This builds a trust between the trainer and the mule or horse. The training goes on. There's no more forcing saddles and jumping on and "breaking " until the poor horse or mule is exhausted.
It was just on there to show people it doesn't spook her. Most horses and mules wouldn't olerate that crinkly mess all over them and trailing behind them.

Why yellow sheet?
If you don't mind waiting a few years, and doing the work which is easy, you can have 1 or more for cheap!
She's bomb proof! Very well trained, and gaited too!
The leaf blower is a little ridiculous.
No it's not! The wider variety of noises and sights they tolerate the better, but few can be brought to the auction to demonstrate them.
That mule was trained by the Amish, I hear they aren't always the easiest on their animals in training.
I do too, but some are just great trainers!
What a fantastic mule .Worth every dollar too.Good luck to her new owner
👏 👏 👏 👏
did you buy another mule? lol...WOW

you absolutely have no idea of what you are talking about

You shouldn’t be filming the Amish….out of respect. Fine mule there.
Rusty Harp. He has a good mule song. Check it out...
Where at in Pennsylvania?
In a way so degradeing, but why should she be afraid she's breed to work in the real world

Its a zombie mule...😂❤
Lot of money for a deaf mule
Auction or circus?
I'd clean the gutters on my house off that mule's back. Nice
Amazing mule and equally amazing trainer
Can't eat mule... Cash is king.
Actually u can eat a mule ,i dont advise it unless u gotta but u still can eat it,but it can earn more dinners then u will get by butchering it up
Okay how many Xanax did you put in the mules feed that morning?

She is going to miss her owner.
It would have been nice to see that mule work some cattle during that demostration, rope and rustle some heavy cows to show her power!
wow
Great mule. And only 4. Hell of an animal. You’d get 25 years of service out of her. Bargain.
Incredible animal training. What a beautiful animal. I love mules, the hum-v of animals .
DAMN IT, A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT
That is one broke mule!! Trainer did their job! But still not worth 17G's!! No way. People have lost their minds. Lazy people.
Three weeks of training with the program Larry surrett teaches at the Minnesota horse training academy and you can do all this and more ! Easily !
This mule has more smarts than most humans
Phenomenal!❤
This is so pathetic!
The people commenting negatively are pathetic!
Poor mule is just an object to them. This is so sad. If she didn't sell she will end up going to slaughter.

Piss on you.you don't know what you're talking about.
It's just a mule. No breeding value. That price is crazy.
Duke Makedo but it’s a good mule
I’d like to hang out with the trainers for a few days. Is that possible?
I'd prefer many years with this trainer!
Wow.
Thank you for sharing this! Fantastic mule!
There's training then there's abuse, hope she has a better life now
I doubt she was ever abused. He didn't break her...he TRAINED that mule.

Best be silent when you don't know what you're talking about.
Wish I could afford that baby
The mule is impressive the rider is a jackass.
This mule is cool!
The poor thing is deaf! 😵
That sure is one cool donkey!!
Poor Mule and his abusive capture!

I seriously doubt this mule was EVER abused. Go back to sleep.
WoW, awesome mule! They started training her very early, but that’s how you’ve gotta do it. Bless her sweet little heart.🥰
100%!
now thats broke
Why does the little mule have her hindquarters covered by a yellow tarp?
To show she don't spook.
Humans are the real jackass!!!!
I would not buy a horse that I couldn't see take that silly yellow blanket thing off
Finally
It was just on there to show people it doesn't spook her. Most horses and mules wouldn't olerate that crinkly mess all over them and trailing behind them.
They take it off at 3:34
Nice animal, mules are amazing. Wish i had a barn for a beauty like that. Wow so great.👍 wonderfully trained.
They are SO much healthier and happier in a large feild with water, and a run in shed for shelter!
