working mules

Mules are commonplace for work and pleasure riding in many parts of South America.

Here is a video clip from Brazil, showing how to do a neat tail knot on a mule. I wish my Portuguese was good enough to understand what he's saying. But it's interesting all the same. Enjoy!

And here is a video of someone's saddle and gear collection. I believe this is all gear for mules. Some beautiful stuff.
