horse or a mule for hog hunting

I hunt horse back most of the time and love it. I hunted coons and hogs with mules for years. I currently don't have a good mule, but I'm looking for one. Every good mule I've owned I have taught to jump fences. Tie the wires down with your dog lead and throw a blanket over the fence, lead the mule up to it and if trained he will jump the fence with ease. Most mules also if they are hung in wire want panic and while allow you to cut them out of it. Good mules are easy to break. I have bought mules that have never been saddled and started them that morning and hunted off of them that night no problems. I keep using the term good mules because some you can't do any thing with, some have no steering, its just one way and it's their way period. Avoid these mules, don't waist your time and money. Mules kick more often than horses. I have had a few mules you could rope cows off of, would neck rein, great handle. A good horse will rein easier and have a better handle than a mule. Mules are stronger pound for pound than a horse, tougher and more durable. But mules aren't for everyone and a good one may be hard to find. I love jumping fences really opens up more happy hunting ground, hard to catch a man on a good jumping mule at night if he knows the country.
