Hello everyone, it's the computer muleteer speaking! I'm launching a little article to give you a roadmap to follow us during this year of MMO/RMO. Get comfortable and give me two minutes of your time to explain how it's all going to unfold. So, as I release this post on January 26, 2023, we are in the midst of the first phase of our adventure: the presentation of the key players of the year 2024. We've already rolled out the red carpet for the coaches, and the mules, well, they're taking their time, but they'll soon show up. Once everyone is in place, we'll dive straight into the intense training sessions with videos and articles to follow the training of all these beautiful creatures. To conclude this first MMO/RMO, there will be a weekend meetup in Dordogne to witness the progress made by our teams. At the end of the weekend, the MMO/RMO mules will be put up for sale to find a new family to live with, under the watchful eye of their trainers. In conclusion, this first edition of MMO/RMO promises to be a captivating adventure, starting with the presentation of key players, including coaches and future mules. Enthusiasts can immerse themselves in the daily life of this adventure through videos and detailed articles on the training. Finally, the highlight will be the meetup in Dordogne, marking the end of the very first MMO/RMO with the sale of the mules, and the funds collected contributing to the preparation of future events, as well as acquiring mules with uncertain futures in the fattening circuit. PS: I'll leave you with a visual aid to help you visualize it all! sry but is french visualize For those with access to Facebook, follow the event on the page (be carre full is a french page ) Mule qui Peut Or on the channel Youtube Mule Qui Peut

For this first edition, there will be seven of them, formidable professionals, highly motivated by the animal cause and the recognition of mules, and believe me, they will give of their all. Agreeing to take part in this first edition, agreeing to take on difficult animals, to look after them for 7 months at their own expense, to manage the travel to pick them up, to go to the event, I say to them, respect! We realize that organizing an event over a year is no easy task, life plays tricks, some had to give up for personal reasons, but we'll see them again next year, and we thank them in advance. In short, it's been a merry-go-round: we've had 6 trainers, then 3, then 8, then 6, then 4, and that's it!

Why the year of the mule??? Because this year will see the first event to revolve solely around the mule, this innovative RMMO and MMO is a first in France and Europe. The association that works for the recognition of the mule-riding world, the animals of course, but also breeders, teachers, connoisseurs, good professionals, equipment manufacturers, and even the Tête de Mule brewery! The mule-riding world is isolated, and newcomers struggle to find the right companion, get the right equipment, find the right shoeer or groom, even a vet... The association has its place there, we talk about mutual aid and solidarity, what better than these two words to block out isolation, individualism and the ambient gloom, we say it enough the mules are going to save the world, because the mules are first of all love, and love implies respect, sharing, authenticity, human values still present, we know it the muleteers, they whisper it permanently in our ears. We believe them, we the members of the board and those who turn around, the little helpings to the right and to the left, which make our project come to life, and that only thanks to the friendship and love of our animals. As president, I'd like to thank all of you, members of the board and those who work with us, for managing Insta and TikTok, for giving us their photos, ideas and occasional helping hands, thanks to Nadine, our designer, thanks to all those who talk about it and work so hard, thanks to the mule ambassador, thanks for the help of the computer muleteer, thanks to the Globes-Crotters who got off their mules and got down to work, a big thank you to the Mini family who will welcome us, thank you to the members of the jury, the equine law institute who helped us, and above all to the trainers who accepted this challenge, to find a small place for it in their more than full lives, it's a wonderful human adventure with the key words friendship, love and solidarity, thank you our mules, you're right, you're going to save the world, even if they make us completely mulopathic. Our best wishes of love and respect for this Mulannée Thanks to our partners Back on Track SAFE Horseshoes La Brasserie tête de Mule Et parcequ'il faut les nommer, notre assureur équiliberté To join the Mule Qui Peut association, you need to be a mule driver.

Every mule is unique, every mule has a unique back... If you're lucky, your mule's back is close to that of a horse's. All you have to do is find the right saddle, but this is rare... A mule worthy of the name has a flat back and no shoulders, reminiscent of a trestle... She gets her flat back from her daddy, unlike mommy's more or less hollow back. Mumule's back is more like a curved board. So you need a mule tree, with very little rock, as Aurore Saddlery - La Tanière will tell you, and no twist. In average human language, this means that the horse tree is banana-shaped, the mule tree is flattened banana-shaped, in short, it's confusing, but if you put a horse tree on a mule's back, the tree will rock back and forth, pressing down on the center and lifting up from the front or the back. You can put a padd on the back, yes, but the front lifts off, a padd on the front, yes, but the back lifts off, and in both cases, the tree will press very hard in the center. Another peculiarity of "tight shoulders" is that there's nothing to block the saddle in front, so it slides forward, and sometimes we do too, but that's not all: the mules' shoulder blade moves up and down, and if the saddle is too far forward, it interferes with this movement. To solve this problem, we've come up with the solution of a gullet, which is much more comfortable than the crupper, and a second strap that can be tightened under the belly. In short, saddling a mule is a choice. Adventures and galleys, there is no brand of horse saddle that will fit a mule, it doesn't exist, but there will be a mule back that will fit a model, if you're lucky enough to have a mule with a back close to the horse's. Made-to-measure Bringing it in from the U.S., the most functional is the Steve Edwards. To start work with a young mule, treeless mules may be suitable until growth is complete, but only for light work. And the same goes for poles. To understand the notion of rock and twist

In Europe There are a few isolated muleteers in Belgium, but some of them are really good! Florence Hurlet (Planet Ster), Muriel Herion England is a bit like France, without the mountains and the south! But there are a few mules, who are pampered, with a special mention for Ellen Cochrane. In Italy: History has left its mark here, and mules are still frequently used for mountain transport and timber hauling. An extraordinary man, Enrico Maria Scolari, an Italian, put his mule to the test. In Spain, the famous Aréna mule fair in Andalusia demonstrates the country's attachment to mules, of which there are many more than in France. ​ North America In the US, the mule is king, with its own day, the Mules Day, and its own challenges, the famous Mules Makeover. A specific discipline is practised here: free mule jumping. The event ends with an auction, where the amount reached is between $10,000 and $20,000. In Canada, it depends on the state, but overall it's not a popular animal, even if the winner of the 2023 Missouri Mule Makeover is a Canadian from the state of Alberta. This has to do with climate and history; as feeding horses in winter was too difficult and expensive, early settlers used donkeys almost exclusively, as they were easier to train, so there were no donkey-horse encounters. SOUTH AMERICA A land of mules too, magnificent animals, an age-old culture, not always subtle, but very beautiful. In the rest of the world No or very little information for the moment. This blog post will be completed as and when it is available.

The mule route Old Europe is criss-crossed by mule trails, and let's not forget that the mule guild was the ancestor of truckers. They have all more or less disappeared. But thanks to the initiative of Equiliberté, the mule route has been reopened. In Poitou, and more specifically in the Mellois and Gâtine regions, the breeding of donkeys/mules has held a significant place since the Middle Ages. It was in the 19th century that this Poitou activity reached its peak and achieved exceptional results, especially in terms of export. In 1886, more than 20,000 heads were exported, and the total population was 240,000 heads. 80% of sales were exported to Spain and Italy. The exportation was either entirely on foot to Dauphiné, the south, and Italy, with a possible return to Spain, or by boat to Spain from Nantes after a journey on foot. From 1890 onwards, this situation deteriorated, lasting until 1977... Mainly produced in Poitou-Charentes, young mules were transported to the East of France to be raised, trained, and finally handed over to users. The transportation of travelers, goods, the army with its equipment, and challenging agricultural work—all these tasks could only be accomplished with sturdy animals like the mule, which has often proven itself throughout history. Under the auspices of the national federation of equestrian hikers EquiLiberté, Guy Bouillaud, founder of UDRE 79 (Union of Equestrian Hikers of Deux-Sèvres) / EquiLiberté 79, and EquiLiberté National, wanted to rehabilitate the "Route des Mulets" with the aim of highlighting this activity concerning the history of mules and its impact on communication between regions and countries. Many traces can be found in cities and villages, and they are highlighted during this equestrian activity of past years. In 2021, the Route des Mulets came back to life, with Christian Michel starting from Champdenier, the starting point of the Mule Route, to Bourganeuf in Creuse. In 2022, Philippe Baudet and Gérald Yart, in charge of major routes at the EquiLiberté federation, embarked on the Route des Mulets but had to interrupt their journey in Marcenod (42) due to an injury to one of the mules. In 2023, a team of 7 mules and 3 humans, Emile Brager and his 13-year-old son Olivier, and Gérald Yart, resumed the journey from Marcenod to finally complete the Route des Mulets. Following these various journeys, the initial itinerary will be slightly modified. The itinerary was made possible thanks to the work of some EquiLiberté members and, for the alpine part, thanks to some professionals in equestrian tourism—all of whom are thanked here!

Writing about mules is pretty rare, unless you speak English. But here's what we have on hand: Le Mulet Intime, by Adolphe Guenon, the bible, republished in 1999 under the title "la grande histoire du mulet" thanks to Olivier Courthiade and Jacques Clouteau. The Meredith Lodges Books Mule stories, by Olivier Courthiade The Cordoba bibliomule (comic strip) L'école des Mules, children's book Le Mulet Valésien Mules and Mules, exceptional animals, Eric Rousseau Loys Bastide and his Charline Pierre Albert Clément, a must-read Les Muletiers, by Pierre Pancrazy Bibliography for long-distance riders And our last two, our favorites Brèves de Mules, collective work (à commander sur brevesdemules@outlook.fr) La folie des glandeurs François ou l'or des muletiers Authors: Escoulen, Daniel

The mule is a versatile animal: if you choose the mother's origin carefully, you'll find her in all equestrian disciplines, where she often excels. Let's not forget that the animal is intelligent, and once it has chosen you and given you its heart, it will do anything to please you, and it has the means to do so... She does very well in TREC, Mountain horse, equifeel and all Western disciplines, depending on her mother's origins in dressage, Wallace the Mule being a good example, in show jumping and eventing. Harnessing and animal traction remain the mules' preferred fields of activity. Thanks to their intelligence and great sensitivity, they excel in equicoaching and equitherapy. Long-haul travelers, who can set off for anywhere from a few weeks to several years with equines as crew members, also give mules a very special place. Emile Brager, co-founder of CALC (Cavaliers Au Long Cours) and author of the essential book "Techniques du voyage à cheval", has made a major contribution to their promotion. Each mule is unique

Immerse yourself in the eccentric world of mules with "Brèves de Mules". "Brèves de mules" is a collective and associative work made up of 95 short stories and anecdotes, funny or moving, illustrating both the joys and difficulties of working with this animal, little known to the general public. Some are very short, others several pages long, slices of life, small anecdotes, very personal feelings - in short, a patchwork of varied stories that give an idea of the mule's uniqueness, temperament and incredible qualities, and of what it means to have a relationship with this animal. Reading these stories should delight those already familiar with our hybrid, and perhaps inspire others to get closer! The book has no author, but 67 co-authors. It features some fifty photos and as many drawings, by some twenty illustrators. With 244 well-crafted pages, its aim is to raise awareness of the mule as a hybrid animal (or mule if it's a male!), as books on the subject are rare in the French language. The associations "La Maison du Mulet" and  "HIPPOTESE" contributed financially to the production of this book, as did several members of the CALC association (Cavaliers Au Long Cours). Rémy, a member of these three associations, was the driving force behind the idea, gathering together the stories and designing the layout of the book with the indispensable help of his wife Véronique. The book, which sells for 15 euros (plus postage where applicable), can be purchased in several ways: You can purchase it at the boutique of the Maison du Mulet in Seyne les Alpes or by contacting this association through the HIPPOTESEassociation. You can also submit a request via email to the following address managed by Rémy: brevesdemules@outlook.fr.
