THE MAKING OF 20 MULE TEAM • DEATH VALLEY DAYS TV SERIES

From the HorseTV Global Archives, we go way back to the TV Series "Death Valley Days" which was sponsored by 20 Mule Team Borax. This episode is a classic! You'll especially want to check out the enormous wagons used to haul mined borax from the mines.

My entire lifetime I worked as an coachman in Germany, but I never got this great chance to deal with mules.
In teamwork with my employer I was engaged in 1992(?) at the World Equestrian Show EQUITANA in Essen.
And there I spoke with a Swiss officer, who drove his Six-mule-team perfectly. He told to me: ,,All things, what horses can do, can mules much more better !" And: ,,If you have to deale with a mule, - forget everything about horses!" Awesome animals as well. Hat off and best regards from Germany ❤

I am rewatching Death Valley Days on Amazon. It is wonderful!

Wow, that is excellent! It's evident that everyone worked together and for each other-tip of the hat to everyone involved in the making and production of this movie. You rarely get a show of this quality these days.

You do know that you can still get it from the store. I just bought a box last week.

I can only imagine the pure Hell of the mules in the hot weather back then. Forced into slave labor, pulling the heavy loads. Shame on humans for all animal exploitation.
