Amazing jumping mules..(video)

Jumping from a standstill like that is called **** jumping and originated by hunters jumping their strings of mules over wire fences, sometimes with their coats over the top strand. They did not want the mules running off at the other side before all of the mules were over hence the short stopping distance.
 
There was a mule used to come to a local jumping evening, sometimes it jumped sometimes it didnt..

it was entered in WH class at a small show, just for a laugh, and won it! judge said it had the best movement in the class :D

Those tube vids are all fantastic. Mules rule.

OT slightly, but I'd like to know why the censorship on the previous couple of posts???
What is wrong with RACCOONS?? That is what that style of jumping is named after, from when fur traders used mules to carry their pelts across country from town to town to sell.
Raccoons were the most popular and easily trapped (you've all heard of Davey Crockett with his coonskin hat!) so that is what the traders were known for.

Honestly, the worlds gone mad :confused:
 
Someone local to us has a mule, it has the biggest fluffiest ears I have ever seen and cute as, you can't help but laugh at him, but i think he knows your laughing at him, and am sure he gives us evils!
