Paul Garrison Explaining about haulters, Myler Combination Bits and adjustments ! Get in touch with us if you want to learn about Tack and Mulemanship ! (830) 796-5805
i love your videos. ive gotten the idea of owning a mule some time back, and thanks to you i can see better what id be getting myself into. your animals look absolutely phenomenal, and i love the calm you exude when explaining what is important to you. thank you !
Love your vids. I have been in the serviced most of my life. Now retired and can't wait to get back in the saddle again. Grew up with a mule named "Smokey" That I rode just about everyday until I left for the service. Now looking for a mule or even two since I have used my retirement cash to by a place of my own in the Black Hills. Hope I see an ad from you on mules you might have available.
Great video. I was here because I just ordered this bit yesterday. I'll watch your other videos prior to calling. Ironically, I've acquired an Arabian mare and cant seem to get a saddle adjusted to fit her. I've considered adding a similar back cinch, but dont have the knowledge to do that yet. I'll watch some of your other videos first. Also, most headstalls are to big for her, and I know this bit would only, add to that dilemma. I thought about having just a single headstall strap with a buckle, and running a small browband through it.
I've seen that a breeching is more desirable for a mule because a crupper can shift at the tail and break the mule's tail and back so that the mule has to be euthanized. I saw this on another gentleman's mule website. You both sound knowledgeable; so I am concerned about which one of you is correct???
I have NO experience with any of this. I have adopted 6 kids here and living in Mexico. Kids want horses but being advised to go 4 wheel drive not 2 we live in the mountains. So we now have two mules we are buying this week. I am loving your videos. Watching everything over and over. How do I reach you to buy halters. I can ship them to a friend I the US who can bring them down if I do it soon.
Collapse of the bit does one thing, it pinches. Communication should be through the least amount of resistance, pinching causes resistance, so if your hand already causes pinching and resistance how is that a positive reaction. Release yes but the minute you gather your reins you create pinching and resistance.
Jon you can order the Myler Combo from most of the major tack tack catalogs, also Western Mule Magazine and directly from Myler if you go to Myler be sure to mention my name. Call Lew to order the headstall 830-328-0321
You've got that halter and headstall way too tight and that flank cinch back too far, just like a flank strap on a buckin horse. When it all goes bad you won't make 8 seconds. Good training is much better than pressure.
Hello, Mr. Garrison! Great to find your videos on CZcams! You’ve got to have he happiest mules in Texas!
What a beautiful head on that mule. Nice shiny sorrel/copper coat. Thanks so much for sharing. Take care, be safe, and have fun regardless.
Fantastic video!! I have that bit but never knew for sure how to adjust it properly.
i love your videos. ive gotten the idea of owning a mule some time back, and thanks to you i can see better what id be getting myself into. your animals look absolutely phenomenal, and i love the calm you exude when explaining what is important to you. thank you !
Yea, u love seeing horses being abused by a vile man.
Wow, excellent teaching! Thank you!
I couldn’t agree more. Hate when I see people leaving halters on in pasture. Work with your animal on catching like you said.
Thank u for all information!! I new at thismule stuff! & Going by 2 right off the back

Thank you for sharing.🐴
What a beautiful animal
100% agree with your rope halter proportions
Love the rig set up! Much more comfortable and you don’t have all the pinch points.
First time I saw these things, positions and it's names 😇
Great information i own a mule she's a great animal❤❤❤

Thank you much
I have a question.
Does the mouth piece collapse when pressure is present?
I have NO experience with any of this. I have adopted 6 kids here and living in Mexico. Kids want horses but being advised to go 4 wheel drive not 2 we live in the mountains. So we now have two mules we are buying this week. I am loving your videos. Watching everything over and over. How do I reach you to buy halters.

Any way to ride without the bit?
Collapse of the bit does one thing, it pinches.

Release yes but the minute you gather your reins you create pinching and resistance.
Where can I get the head set
Where is the halter from?
Genius
Is that the MB 04 bit? TY
Who could I order that headstall through?
My only suggestion is to put a leather pad under the snap. I don't like the snap against the skin...'
Have tried that in the past but its useless, when fitted correctly the snap provides no irritation what so ever.
But thanks for your input!
Would you consider sharing the measurements?
How do I order the bridle halter
What is the most common size Myler Combination bit? 5, 5.5 or 6" for Mules?
James Lough 5 inch
Can I order the headstall?
Does the company who built your headstall have a website or number I can contact them through to order one? Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

I’m interested in purchasing that head stall.

Paul who was the halter builder?
James Lough i have an outfit in CA build them for me, contact me to purchase.
😁
NO mule and no 40 acres but watched thas and the saddle up just in case
I’m confused, where is the child labor?
Shank bit for leverage. Or said another way, increased leverage to get better pain compliance.
LOUDER PLEASE !!!! THE LAST VID I HIT DISLIKE CUZ COMMENTS SHUT OFF!
Your snap crown is upside down it's digging into that mule hide.
That outfit you're rigging up would work better if you took that halter off 📴📴
You've got that halter and headstall way too tight and that flank cinch back too far, just like a flank strap on a buckin horse.
When it all goes bad you won't make 8 seconds.
Good training is much better than pressure.
