Hehehe...I've had two husbands and worked with (male) surgeons for nearly
30 years...I should be good with mules!! <g>

My closest observation of mules was when I was managing some local dressage
shows (schooling and "B" shows) a few years ago.  The coolest mule
occasionally entered the classes...rode Training and 1st Level, if I
remember correctly.  Did well...got decent scores -- and fun to watch cuz
it was so odd seeing a mule doing dressage tests amongst all of the big
warmbloods.
