Suitability of Mules and Donkeys for Children - Meredith Hodges - Lucky Three Ranch

• Teach your child how to be around equines.
• When choosing an equine for your child, do not choose a donkey jack.
• Do not choose an equine that is an alpha figure in the herd or one with aggressive behavior.
• Choose a mule or donkey with a quiet disposition for your child.
• Encourage children to do tasks around the barn to learn more about their equines' behavior traits.
• Consider giving a homeless donkey, burro or mule a chance to be in your child's care.
• Donkeys tend to have less issues and tend to be more sedate rescue animals than mules.

Conduct and Good Sportsmanship - Meredith Hodges - Lucky Three Ranch

• The importance of developing a bond with your animal - to gain his trust to perform in the show ring.
• Competition is fun and exciting - develop the winning attitude to compete against yourself and not others.
• A good trainer will train himself, as well as the mule with subtle direction coming from the mule.
• Develop respect for your mule.
• Yes God gave us "dominion" over the animals, but that doesn't make us a King or a Queen over them. We are keepers of our animals.
