Ground Communication to your Mule

Folks, the biggest issue Steve Edwards has with mules and mule trainers is...ground communication.

Your mule is ignoring you, moving around, and just causing havoc for you as a trainer. We have to fix that.

First, you try yelling at your mule. You try stomping at your mule. You quickly find out that doesn’t do a darn thing.

This is where the Come-A-Long Rope comes in.

In this video, Steve Edwards shows you how to teach ground communication to your mule. Using the Come-A-Long Rope, Steve shows you the key to having your mule understand you is to control the nose. The mule moves its head, you bump its nose. The mule looks in a different direction, you bump its nose. When your mule moves its feet, you bump its nose. You want straightness only. Make sure the rope is loose until your mule makes a mistake.

What if you want your mule to move backwards? Get in front of your mule and bump him down. Your mule is wondering, “Why is he bumpin’ my nose?” Using the Come-A-Long hitch to bump the mule’s nose will teach them to follow your lead. Every time your mule makes a mistake, you bump its nose.

Some of y'all are probably thinking, “Man, Steve is rough with these mules.” Well, folks, the reality is if these mules get in your space and step on you, it won’t be pretty. Mules are prey, humans are predators. Mules don’t want you in their space.

You train using the nose. Fix the issues on the ground and you’ll have a better ride.
