Horse sense

Post by tom deinek »

Watching b&w cowboy tv.

Can a mule and a horse pull in the same team? Will they cooperate or fight?

I've read about WWII Russian army teams of a horse and a cow pullling a wagon, but that always sounded phony to me.

What do you horse guys say?

I'm not a horse person but I'd say it can work.

Heck, even horses do that amongst themselves. They're all individuals... with differing personalities, traits, and yes, prejudices.

Grandma told me oxen were slow movers. They lasted well but were slower than horses and mules. To mix then was very likely necessity.

Now where else but this site could someone ask such a question and have someone (Bruce) post a number of such pictures.
Gosh I love this place.
And by the way Bruce we have to talk about you getting another hobby. :lol:
