John gets a lot of questions about gaited mules and gaited mule training. If you are interested, you can Listen to John's Perspectives on Gaited Mules on the difference between mules and horses, the difference between gaited horses and gaited mules, mule physical and psychological traits, the training process for gaited mules, and other gaited mule questions and issues.
Gaited mules have a gait that is smooth and distinct from the trot of an ungaited mule. The gaited mule may exhibit a single foot, fox trot, running walk, stepping pace, rack, paso fino gait, or combination gait. Therefore, gaited mules give a ride that is more comfortable than that of an ungaited mule. The ride of a gaited mule is similar to that of a gaited horse such as a Tennessee walking horse, fox trotter, or paso fino horse. For us to represent a mule as gaited, the mule has to do more than a flat foot walk. To represent a mule as gaited, we require the mule to do one or more gaits bare footed or light shod, in addition to a flat foot walk.

Our Selling Process
Our gaited mules for sale are sold by private treaty. We want a buyer to come work with the gaited mule for sale and ride the gaited mule for a couple days before buying the gaited mule. Our gaited mules for sale have been raised as big pets and we want them to go to humane and loving homes. A prospective buyer needs to understand that maintaining a gaited mule requires a big commitment in time, labor, and money.
The prospective buyer of the gaited mule needs to have had some experience and confidence riding gaited horses or some experience with mules. During the couple days spent riding the gaited mule for sale, John will show and tell how the mule has been trained and help the new owner get with the gaited mule. John's way of training may not be the best or only way to train a gaited mule, but it is the riding method that the gaited mule for sale is familiar with and will likely yield the best results until the new owner is bonded with the gaited mule. He will also show how the gaited mule for sale has been tacked and bitted and share what he has learned about gaited mule temperament and psychology over the past fifteen years. He will help riders who have ridden only western style and who have not ridden gaited equine learn how to ride a gaited mule two handed with mild collection. Our goal is for all parties, including the gaited mule for sale, to be happy with the transaction.
We are a mom/pop operation (actually a grandma/grandpa operation) located in the northeast corner of Missouri, six miles east of Kirksville. We raise and train sensible gaited trail mules. We do not represent a gaited mule that we would not want to ride. We require that riders sign a liability release and wear a riding helmet during the trial ride of the gaited mules for sale because riding even the best equine has inherent risks. Our gaited mules for sale will come to the new owner in good health, with current de-worming, current vaccinations, and current dentistry.
