MULE CONFORMATION - MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH
The ideal qualities to look for in a mule.
What to look for in the ideal head, neck, and shoulders of the mule.
Mare and jack contribute to the qualities desired in the mule.
Be selective in your breeding program to produce desirable mules.
Bone structure is important when selecting a mule for a job or performance.
The mule overall should have a balanced look to his body.
Pay attention to the hip, stifle, and gaskin, that should have a smooth-muscled look.
Mules and donkeys possess more "long" muscle than bulk muscle (as in the horse.)
Pay attention to the legs of the mule, the hooves, rib cage, joints, etc.
The most important trait of the mule is his disposition; this characteristic comes primarily from the mare.
Assessing the jack - what to look for and more!
