Cathy, I agree with you, I am not sure I will have mule foals in late summer/early fall anymore! This was our first year, and we are having the same dilemmas!...

... I have an indoor, but it's no warmer than the great outdoors. It is out of the wind, and more importantly, the footing's good so I can ride in it, but if...
Kris, Part of the reason I don't have one yet is that I am probably too particular about how it will be built. I also plan to put in one of those big gas...

I'm going to make a long story short...hopefully. I have a new (couple of weeks) 5 year old mule. Pretty well trained. I'm trying to blanket her for the bad...
... She's probably never been touched there before and doesn't yet realize that 1) it's safe, and 2) it's something she needs to let you do. We pick the crud...
Sheri, Sounds like she just needs to be desensitized to the strap, or she may be just a bit ticklish. Here is one solution. This needs to be done during...
... Making it "heatable" would add a significant amount to the cost, because all the doors and windows would have to be tight, you'd have to add a ceiling so...
I do have a clicker. We have only had one lesson but I do think she was getting the message: touch nose to the stick- get a click and a treat. Repeat. What...
... Exactly. Desensitizing with the clicker always seems to go faster, because it gives us a meaningful way to tell them what we want. After all, sometimes...
forget the blanket for now and work up gradually. i especially like to try potentially upsetting stuff right after we have had a vigorous ride, when ginger is...
That's a good idea. I haven't had a chance to ride her since I brought her home. Weather has played a big part. I'm spending the whole weekend riding and...
She's not in season. However, it's common for a mare to go into season when brought to a new place. It may not be a "true" season, I'm not good with the equine...
I haven't been following the "kicking" problem to close....but, I was thinking that maybe tying a big, thick, knotted rope onto the mule's tail somehow....so...

Kris, We are planning a 60 by 150 foot barn. My dad (72 yrs old) recently built his insulated barn as a shop building and it wasn't so hard at all and ...
... Ours is 60 X 144, so that we have room for hay storage. ... We built the indoor ourselves, but hired help to put the trusses up. 60 foot trusses are a job...
Donna, I hadn't responded about the kicking either. I like something about every trainer's ideas but letting them kick it out is not one of them. That sort ...
Kris, We don't get near the load of snow and weather you get. Goodness, we don't even get snow every year. So far this year, it has snowed 5 or 6 times I ...
