Longears Versatility

Many of our fans have truly enjoyed seeing LONGEARS’ incredible versatility in the musical video posts that I have done for pure FUN and entertainment! Despite the old rumors about mules and donkeys not being much use for anything but hard work (packing, farming and carrying military loads), the Lucky Three mules and donkeys have spent their lives competing against both LONGEARS and horses in various shows during their careers to prove that they too have recreational and competitive value in all types of equine events and activities. During my journey with LONGEARS, I discovered the true value of approaching training with the development of good posture and core strength in mind! Building the elements of core strength around the skeleton in a symmetrical way (the muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and soft tissue) ensures them exceptional advantages in longevity in performance and optimum health. This is how my mules and donkey jack were able to pave the way for others to challenge themselves and their LONGEARS going forward, to prove that mules and donkeys are not necessarily stubborn and awkward. Just like people, they just require the correct approach to management and training to be all that they can be!

During my 48 years with LONGEARS, I learned the techniques that I still use today on ALL equines and gratefully pass them on to the public in hopes it will improve EVERYONE’S relationship with their equines. Never underestimate the intelligence, athletic ability, tractability and power of a LONGEARS…and even your horses and ponies! It makes sense when you breed the best of the horse world with the best from the donkey world. The result is the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS in the offspring! Give your equine the athletic edge! Be sure to visit and peruse all the different categories on the Task Bar on my website, and in the various sections under TRAINING, to discover all the opportunities that are available to you and your Longears.
