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.

MULE CONFORMATION - MEREDITH HODGES - LUCKY THREE RANCH
The ideal qualities to look for in a mule.
What to look for in the ideal head, neck, and shoulders of the mule.
Both the mare and the jack contribute to the qualities desired in the mule.
Be selective in your breeding program to produce desirable mules.
Bone structure is important when selecting a mule for a job or performance.
The mule should have an overall balanced look to its body.
Pay attention to the hip, stifle, and gaskin, which should have a smooth, muscled look.
Mules and donkeys possess more "long" muscle than bulk muscle (as in the horse).
Pay attention to the legs of the mule, the hooves, the rib cage, joints, etc.
The most important trait of the mule is his disposition; this characteristic comes primarily from the mare.
Assessing the jack - what to look for and more!
