1. Mules are WAY ahead of horses in making tricky turns

Watch the mules jumping the chain in order to be in the optimum position for making a tight turn

For what it's worth, I watched these wagon being built in Joliet, Montana on YouTube.

11. I had no idea a mule could jump like that.

Although considering how well they can kick I should have known.

7. Poor baby, scared because of the fall, and all tangled up in a harness.

Laying down that long isn't good for a horse that size either.

8. They aren't mules they're Clydesdale horses

It's a breed that was traditionally bred for farming, pulling plows, etc. Budweiser has always used Clydesdales for their beer wagons and TV commercials.

These Budweiser Clydesdales are well-trained, and they tour all over the country for parades and exhibitions. I'm glad that little guy is OK - it wasn't his fault that the lead horses crashed into him.

10. Poor baby

13. How many cold ones did those two lead horses knock back before the rodeo?

14. Shameful.

The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo has turned into a complete disaster for animals. It is no longer headed by people who actually are savvy about horses, etc., but is for the entertainment of the rich that love to rub elbows with the other rich.

It’s a horrible environment for the horses, and they are treated better than the other animals there. What was once about respect for these animals and the contributions that they’ve made is now hideous entertainment with no understanding of what the animals go through.
