Meredith’s book, A Guide to Raising & Showing Mules, is the perfect choice for those mule and donkey lovers who want to use a mule and donkey in their 4-H project. The differences between mules and donkeys and horses are significant enough that the standard Horse Project manual does not apply. Though mules and donkeys do respond to many horse training techniques, for the best results, they require an approach that differs in many ways from what horses require. In this book, Meredith combines the basic knowledge covered by the Horse Project manual with additional information specific to longears. A Guide to Raising & Showing Mules is ideal for that mule or donkey 4-H project, for those who just need a good introduction to basic “mulemanship” and for those who need more information about breeding and raising mules and donkeys. It is also the perfect complement to Meredith’s detailed and sequential, resistance-free video training series.
