Granted I know absolutely nothing about miniature donkeys and mules, when I read this ad in today's paper, it just doesn't seem right. I know horses, and there's no way I'd ever ask a 9 month old to pull a cart, or do much of anything other than haltering, trailering, bathing, trimming, you know, things like that.
Are mules trained this early to pull carts ? Do you break them to harness without actually having to hook them up to carts? It just seems a little, um.... mean to ask such a thing of a baby. Am I wrong ?
Here's the text of the ad, phone number not included.
