4 legged mules

I rig a mule a little different than most people, I don't use a breast collar, don't need one in steep places or dragging hogs due to a mules conformation it will not slide back much if your saddle is snug, don't ride a back cinch either since I am not roping stock and having to stop them on my mule, both "can" cause an issue when jumping fences, my britching is adjusted different than most folks mine is higher and not parallel to the ground this allows a freer hind leg motion and the but strap is flat against the mule. I do not use billets on the off side girth rigging or for the back cinch but take the back latigos through the girth dee and snug it up that helps keep the girth from getting in behind the leg of the mule and rubbing.
