The term muleskinner means someone who can "skin" or outsmart a mule. Mules are known for being stubborn, but really are just smart. So, you have to be smarter than a mule to train them
Tom didn't "train" this mule, just rode him. I think he would be disappointed if I didn't post this pic. My husband cracks me up. He talked about this mule on several different occasions today. I asked him......what's up with the mule talk. He told me he's always wanted a mule!!! Sorry Tom, I do not see owning a mule in our future. But he does look good up there, doesn't he?

Tom, I love the pic - you make a GREAT muleskinner!!!
If you have to be smarter than a mule to train them and he's already trained... do you have to be smarter than a mule to make them act out their training? And can a mule pick a 'smarter-than-they-are' person out of a crowd? These are good things to know before you get a mule.
Wow, P Susan is over-analyzing a bit! lol
