Mules have been gaining popularity in recent years and are known for their natural hardiness and surefootedness, which makes them ideal for outdoor activities such as trail riding, hunting, and packing. Mules are also known for their strong work ethic and versatility, and they can be trained for a wide range of activities from riding to driving.
Mules are also gaining recognition for their intelligence and personality. Many mule owners find them more engaging and personable than horses, with a unique sense of humour and a strong bond with their owners. Once you have won over their heart, you have a companion for life and many mules can exceed 30 years of age.
Mule hooves are known for their distinctive shape and surefootedness, making them ideal for challenging outdoor activities in harsh climates such as deserts and rocky terrain.
The hooves of a mule are smaller and more upright than a horse hoof, with an oval shape and a slightly cupped sole.
