Why Mules Are Exceptional - Meredith Hodges - Lucky Three Ranch, Loveland, CO
Learn about their exceptional qualities:

• The mule's chest muscle enhances the mobility of the front quarters.
• The mule's hindquarters; his muscles enable him to kick forward, backward, and sideways. 
• The mule's physical structure allows him a more diverse range of movement. 
• The mule has the strength to tolerate prolonged and strenuous use of his muscles. (inherited from his sire the donkey jack.)
• Superior tough hooves, and a unique resistance to parasites and disease. 

Learn more about the mule being exceptional and his diversity on Mule Talk podcast.
