Hello everyone, it is with a joyful greeting that the computer mule driver sends his greetings to you! I have come to present to you a brief summary of the first Mulinades organized by Rémy Pipet and the Mules Qui Puis association.
These Mulinades took place the last weekend of the month of Pack 2024 in the charming little village of Theneuille, located in Allier. The objective of these three days was to create an annual moment where mule enthusiasts could meet and discuss this wonderful subject that is the mule.
The weekend was punctuated on Saturday by moments of thematic exchanges, addressing in particular the following subjects:
A questioning of the nature of the hinny, the donkey-horse hybrid. Contrary to common thought, our discussions showed that the hinny does not “demonize all the faults of his parents”. He even seems closer to man and more tender, like his mother donkey, although a little less carrying.
Discussions on the different training techniques and approaches used by participants.
The broadcast of videos and reports on the Corsican donkey, the intervention of Bernard Michon on animal traction, as well as a video of the Mexican mule driver David Alonso.
A round table to allow everyone to briefly introduce themselves and share their relationship with our friend the hybrid (former owner, young owner, etc.).
The day ended with a convivial and delicious meal, prepared by our dedicated cook, Camilia.
The second day was also rich in discussions:
A morning dedicated to discussions on equipment, where participants were able to present their own equipment and discuss its use.
An intervention by Anouk Nathan on mule foot care.
An afternoon dedicated to presentations of the Globe-Crotters, sharing their adventures and adventures.
Everything took place in a joyful atmosphere, with good meals and lots of laughter and conviviality (and a little too much wine in my particular case).

We have excellent memories of these moments. Some of us met for the first time, while others finally met in person after knowing each other virtually. The contact was caring, simple and friendly.
