Do you have a horse that has multiple personalities when out trail riding? What are some weird things that happen while you are out on the trail? Today's episode is a recording of our live Facebook show where we discuss this funny and sometimes scary topic. Horses I think, like to test us with doing weird things along the trail, like being terrified of water, then splashing through the creek a mile down the trail. Or leap over a branch like it a six-foot jump. you just never know what they are going to do. Horses are a funny bunch, enjoy the show.

Today, our podcast travels to Peru to talk about a very interesting topic: Mules. Sometimes called "the better horse", mules are definitely different from our more common equine friends and they require a bit more care in riding and handling. They reward you with an exceptional strength, sure-footedness and hardiness on the trail. I am talking with Kyd Campbell who rides and trains mules in Peru. She is the perfect person to tell us all about mules and hinnies, their character and their training.
