Thanks so very much for sharing the video Zach. Mr. Summers is a wealth of knowledge and yes he is a blessing in your life. Those mules keep him going.

Yessir I believe so too. Thx for the kind words f words as always and thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Take care and do come again, please! Anytime
Very informative education, so well done , this gentleman is brilliant, why do animals paw at the ground ? Thank you for all you share with us . Amazing !
Thank you sir! Ok, so most pawing is due to impatience really. The older they get and more they’re worked…that typically will go away or decrease drastically. Thank you sir for always watching and commenting. Thanks for the kind words and please do come again, anytime
I truly enjoyed this video! So educational and meeting Mr. Sumner was a treat! He reminds me so much of my Grandfather. I learned a lot from you both about Mules that I have never considered before. I look forward to every video you make for us! God bless you and your family and Mr. Sumner's family as well!
Hey, thank you so much! That means a lot to me. And I am so glad you enjoy the videos. That makes me worth doing! Thank you..thanks for watching and taking time comment as usual also. I sincerely appreciate it. Take care my friend and do come again, please!!
Very interesting, have you ever ever thought of sitting down with Mr.Summers and writing a book with him on mules and mules in general, stop and think of the wealth of knowledge this man has, maybe a book would inspire young people to start something, we know the teenage generation in general is not like us old folks, if it could inspire one or more wo you never know. Thanks for sharing and as always it was very educational.
Maybe one day I will. Although this newer generation is not into books like we used to be. Videos is more their thing. Monkey see monkey do type stuff. So I hope to do more videos with Mr Summers and also a few more that have inspired me over the years. Thanks brother for the kind words and also for watching as always! Take care and come back when ya can! Thx
As usual another very informative video and I sure did learn some things. Thank you Zach for sharing! It’s a wonderful thing you have a friend and mentor in Mr. Summers and it’s awesome to see him work his mules at his age. God bless brother and stay safe in the woods!
Yessir! I am so glad to have him. He’s a treasure for sure. He’s helped me a lot in a lot of ways. Anyway, thank you for the kind words and also for taking time to watch and comment! Take care and do come again please

Howdy Billy! Good to hear from you my man. I hope you are well also. I’m doing good! Thank the lord. Thanks for your words of encouragement and also for watching my friend. You take care of yourself and as always come back when ya can!!
That is some nice gentle handling of his mules. I am wondering if these exercises are mentally tiring on the mules. Thus these exercises strengthen them mentally. These sessions are more mentally challenging than physically. Thanks for sharing. From New Brunswick Canada.
Hey there! So yeah, especially with them being young…I’d say it is a little bit for them. As time goes on they’ll get more patience and such. They’re sorta like little kids. Little at a time goes a long way. Thanks for joining us and taking time to watch and comment! I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again!! Please
Thank you ma’am! Mr. Summers is a good friend and mentor to me. He has helped me a lot. Him and others alike. Thank you again for taking time to watch and comment! I really appreciate it.
I've been busy and just got to watch this video. Great video. I was wondering does Mr. Summer's have plans to get the hoist system for Bell and Byrd harness like he has for his other mules?
Hey there! Glad you’re back. I’d say once they get a little bigger he will. Right now, he can harness them easy enough. They won’t be quite as tall as Pat and Pearl. So I’m not sure what his plans are just yet. Thanks for stopping by and watching! And taking time to comment as usual. I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again, please!
Actually it’s the opposite. Mules mature slower but they typically live longer also. He’s just getting them use to working. He won’t work em a whole lot until they’re 3 coming 4 yo. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Take care and do come again, please
Should start em sometime this summer lord willing! I plan to start em this summer and put em in the woods pulling small wood this fall. Thanks for watching and taking time comment! I surely appreciate it. Take care and do come again, anytime! Thx
Yesssssssss 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I keep preaching this, but everyone likes the sorrels better lol. Thanks for taking time to watch and comment: take care and do come again!
Haha, no she didn’t. But I tell ya, these colts here are pretty easy going for their age. Not much bothers em. And when it does bother em they’re not explosive. So that’s good!
Haha, yes… He is not much of a talker. But I thought it was something that needed doing. Thank you for taking time to watch and also comment. It is good to hear from you! Take care and do come again.

That is some nice gentle handling of his mules. I am wondering if these exercises are mentally tiring on the mules. Thus these exercises strengthen them mentally. These sessions are more mentally challenging than physically. Thanks for sharing. From New Brunswick Canada.
Hey there! So yeah, especially with them being young…I’d say it is a little bit for them. As time goes on they’ll get more patience and such. They’re sorta like little kids.

Ty sir! Yes, they’re a good pair and will go a long ways. I am glad ya enjoyed it and thx for watching!! Take care and do come again as always! Please
I notice in Mr. Summers barn how the wood is chewed. Do mules chew more then a horse ?
Mules will tend to chew more than horses, yes. Thanks for the question.
So amazing!! ❤

Zach ask Mr summers if he prefers his mules vs black mules
Haha, he’s a sorrel mule man all day long ☺️ thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Take care and do come again
You can start using mules sooner then a horse. age
Actually it’s the opposite. Mules mature slower but they typically live longer also. He’s just getting them use to working. He won’t work em a whole lot until they’re 3 coming 4 yo. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment. Take care and do come again, please

She did not like that camera
Haha, no she didn’t. But I tell ya, these colts here are pretty easy going for their age. Not much bothers em. And when it does bother em they’re not explosive. So that’s good!
You can tell they’re young they’re not real patient
That’s right. Time and work will get them there
You torturing Mr. Summers making him talk so much. He's used to grunting at the mules.
Haha, yes… He is not much of a talker. But I thought it was something that needed doing. Thank you for taking time to watch and also comment. It is good to hear from you! Take care and do come again.
