Looks like another good one from Clint Eastwood.
My uncle had mules. We rode them chasing greyhounds across the Osage county pastures after coyotes. Horses had trouble crossing steep creeks or jumping fences. Mules didn't.I had a mule once.
Spouted off and gave $40 for it when a friend got mad & tired of loading/unloading it (he was a trader, and had other stuff in the trailer).
Sold it back to him a few weeks later for the same $40.
We were both happy...
Hehe... I put a saddle on this guy, and soon as I mounted, he started bucking.My uncle had mules. We rode them chasing greyhounds across the Osage county pastures after coyotes. Horses had trouble crossing steep creeks or jumping fences. Mules didn't.

No crupper, so the saddle immediately started going forward (mules don't have distinct withers like horses do). I bailed off on the fence rather than ride the saddle up on his neck, and let him buck himself out.
Hence the mutual happiness of selling him back to my friend for the same price.
Apologies to the OP for the thread derail.
