Bells on the tails of mules mean different things. One bell can mean the mule is broke to pack. Two bells can mean he’s broke to pack and ride. Three bells can mean he is broke to pack, ride, and drive. It just depends on the outfit.
Pat & Deb: love love all your videos. I have to know more about the get down rope that it appears like you got on this mule here. Please give us a video on tying this dangerous knot around the animals neck as well as length of rope etc
If you’re referring to the lead rope that Pat has over his arm, it’s not tied under the mule’s neck. It’s a rope with a ring tied in the end and acts like a really fast hondo. It teaches the mule to lead well without lugging or hanging back. It isn’t something that we would use to tie him up with and we would never leave him unattended with it around his neck.
Could you please talk a little about the notches in the tail and the history behind that practice. I always find that very interesting. Some of your audience may not have heard of it. Is that one line about to break?
We weren’t planning a horse roping video. The series we are currently making will be in three parts: all the shots on the dummy, roping live cattle in an arena, and roping and doctoring outside.
Am I guessing right that the two notches in the tail instead of the mane are meaningful ? Looks like a good setup on the pack! Thanks for sharing and take care. 👍
Well, in Wyoming (and most likely elsewhere) it indicates what the mule is capable of doing. One for packing, two for either riding or driving. Three bells would of course mean it was trained for all three disciplines. Please correct me if I am wrong Pat or Deb....
That’s an awesome setup you did a great job and also the mules tale was cool never seen it done that way before great video 👍
I never was around mules, but my Dad and my Grandad farmed with them years ago.
Rainbow is very photogenic.

Randy, it was the system the Army used. It was so a soldier would know at a glance how to pick the right tool for the job
I love your vidios will your dvd have all about roping your horses thanks from Mississippi

Yeah, I kinda assumed that but wanted confirmation .
Thanks
I like you the knowledge and that good looking mule thank you 🙏
very nice, thank you, how much weight is that?
The salt pannier weighs about 17 pounds and the salt blocks weigh 50 pounds a piece.
Over my head and nothing I'd ever use but very interesting. Wondering where/what your taking the salt to?
The salt is going to the cattle.
Is that a traditional trim on the mules tail ? we don't have many mules in southern Alberta.
That is quite interesting I've never seen it in California
Old Fudd, thanks that makes total sense
Most likely comes from the military.
We have to like you and well? 👍
