In this episode, Steve Edwards, owner of Queen Valley Mule Ranch in Queen Valley, Arizona takes time to talk about the difference in his saddles, how long to use a Martingale, if using a mini tail crupper is okay, running mules barefoot, and A Whole Lot More!

Proper nutrition and foot care are essential for mule and donkey health. They should be fed a high-quality feed specifically formulated for equines, not just horse feed. Their hooves need to be trimmed regularly and kept symmetrical to prevent issues like contracted heels.

Steve's saddles come with an instructional DVD to show owners how to properly fit the saddle to their animal's back. Used saddles may have been modified, impacting the fit and comfort for the mule or donkey.

Lightweight saddles have benefits for both riders and animals. They are easier for riders with physical limitations to hoist onto the mule's back, and they place less strain on the animal.

Groundwork and training from a young age are important. Tying animals properly can teach them patience and stand still.

Mules are versatile animals and can be ridden, driven or used as pack animals. Miniature donkeys also make good companion and show animals.

Steve recommends floating mules' teeth and worming them once per year, usually in the spring. A fecal test or blood test can also identify specific vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
