Copied from another thread:

While I was hiking at Hill Country State Natural Area (Bandera, TX) in May, I ran into a group of about 25 folks on horseback (they called 'em "mules"

) and had an awesome time taking photos of them and their horses for a bit.

I was awful jealous when they all rode off and I still had a 2+ mile hike back to the trailhead! I remember one of them asking me when they rode up, "What happened, did your horse break down!?"

Here are some photos I just posted today from that experience. It definitely made me want to try out horseback riding sometime!

Those are some beautiful mules! Ran across this forum while "googling", was hoping it was a mule lovers forum...but nice just the same!

Happy owner of 2 mules and 1 horse :-)

Definately try mule riding. They have a narrower back and smoother gait then most horses. A pleasure to ride in mountains or hilly areas.
