BC at NC ride

["Arco Farm" <arcofarm@gulftel.com>]

I am not personally a fan of Meridith's training books.  She also has some
tapes but again....  maybe I know her too well to be impressed.  I would
suggest using Pat Parelli's methods.  He has excellent video's and seminars.
His methods work very well with mules.   I hope we get to meet at some of
the rides and I can show you some of the things I have taught Rudy through
the use of Parelli methods.

There is also a mule clinician by the name of Brad Cameron.  He is
exclusively a mule clinician.  He is the best in the business.  If you need
a phone number to order video tapes of his, let me know and I will email you
some info.  May be able to find his web site by searching for Cameron and
mules.  (Not to be confused with Craig Cameron (horse clinician).

If you study Pat Parelli and Brad Cameron you will have your mule
cooperating with you better than most of the horses out there.

Good Luck with Chocolate and thanks for the kudos!!!!!
Cindy and Rudy
