A light-hearted question about mules…hmmm…who could I be thinking of? ;o)?
Awhile back while trailriding in Shawnee National Forest, our group met up with a couple, he rode a QH, and she had this gorgeous dun (?) grulla (?) mule. Great folks, had a fun time.
It seemed like everyone we met had some sort of smart a** (sorry) comment about the mule. “Wow, Nice A**” “You need to get your a** going or you’ll never get back to camp.” “Hey, comin’ through, get your a** out of my way” Well, you get the picture. It was all done in fun, and she had a great sense of humor…we saw the “Haulin’ A**” decal on her trailer…
So, mule-o-philes, what’s the funniest thing anyone has said to you? Does any of this stuff get under your skin? I know attitude probably has a lot to do with it, so what crosses the line to offend?
First if anyone has a problem with the word ‘ass’, skip this post 
How many serious ppl have you met that ride mules?? LOL
Most mule owners have a great sense of humor and are used to being humbled by their mounts. So if someone makes a comment about my mule, it depends on if that comment was made in hmmm meanness or out of fun.
Since I show my mule against horses, I get the joy of seeing ppl absolutely lose all self composure when they are beat by a mule. Majority of the time, my son does the halter and showmanship with him so the ppl standing next to me, have no clue I am with the ‘jackass’ out in the arena lol. One time that sticks out the most was a halter class. My mule is TB type and the judge put him into the hunter halter class. A guy was standing along ring side with me and Stretch (Razzmyass) beat his horse. I think Stretch placed like 3rd in a big class. The guy totally lost it and went off on how he was going to sell his horse because a &$(#&#(&$ jackass beat it, sad sad day when a (&#$(*#&#( can beat a horse . So his daughter leaves the arena and my son and mule follow them out. He then sees I was standing next to him . I wink at him and walk on by . Later that day, he sees us hooked to cart and makes a ‘nice’ comment, I took it as an apology .
I have had ppl at the shows make negative mean comments to me, my standard comment is, ” well he’s only 1/2 ass,whats your excuse?”. Then I make sure I can lope off faster than they can LOL.
Other than that, the doctors and coworkers make fun comments all the time–
In those cases my comments are
I have a hairy black ass
I have a hairy spotted ass
Does this make my ass look big
it goes on and on.
I never mind joking, I play into it just as much.
Most of the time when we are at shows, we just get bombarded by questions from ppl that don’t know much about mules. Ppl see Stretch and want to buy a mule, what they don’t realize is, there is a reason why only one of my mules is a show mule, they take so much work to bring up to that level that its impossible for me to get that same caliber out of all of them. For every one hour of training that goes into a horse, consider it 3 hrs more into a mule. Thats why a good mule will cost more than a horse of the same training.
On my truck, I have a running mule with haulin ass under it. I have a sticker on my trailer that says
“Caution show horses, *horses is scratched out*, then written is Mule with an attitude!”
To even ride a mule you have to have thick skin, you better have a pretty good sense of humor to go with it
