Training Mules and Donkeys : A Logical Approach to Longears Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one good training book. Lots of good information because mules are different from horses. I've used this book over and over especially good for people new to mule ownership or those who are breeding mules from their favorite mares. I wish I had read it before my mule was born it might have saved me from making some mistakes. Easy to read and full of good training tips.

(More customer reviews)I ordered this book the day after I bought my first donkey. I was really looking forward to learning about donkeys, since I had only had horses in the past.
I was very disappointed in the book when it arrived. I read it cover-to-cover and felt that I had just read another "horse training" book like any other. I thought to myself, "but wait, aren't donkeys different?"
I have now had my donkey for a year and a half, and the more I am with her the less I like this book. I find nothing in the book that celebrates donkeys for being donkeys, for their unique attributes that make them so different from horses (and often make them such a challenge!). To me, it appears Ms. Hodges spent all her time turning her donkey into a horse - would have been easier for her to just buy a horse.
This book was written by a very wealthy woman who found exactly the right donkey and taught it exactly the right things to be able to win a lot of show prizes and become very famous, and thus sell books and videos to the donkey crowd. In most of the pictures, Ms. Hodges does not seem to be even enjoying herself at all.
Basically, I find it a lot of hype with little substance, and of little use for the average back-yard donkey owner who wants to have fun with his/her longeared friend. ...
