So in that instance, would you ride the geldings and pack the mules, or vice versa? I read a website that said mules are far and away the best pack animals. Said they will follow a horse step for step, but a pack horse will sometimes wander back and forth behind the leading horse. They also said the mules carry the load more steadily without lunging and lurching. Have you found this to be true as well?
Pretty cool.
Cheers

thats what we do when we run out of riding mules.... We will pack the mules and ride a horse... but you just cant beat a good riding mule in the mountians...
