Description: Bay Overo Saddle Mule Molly
OF Stone Jumping SH OOAK FCM by JT trad —
Coon Jumping
Mule jumping comes from a tradition in coon hunting of having mules jump over fences rather than finding gates. Jumping competitions vary — some require the mules to wear saddles, some competitions don't require saddles. Once a mule walks up to the jumping barrier, it has three minutes to clear the jump. The mule has two tries to clear the barrier without knocking it down. Trainers can not touch the mule. They must get the mule to jump by word commands. They can hold the reins and tug them. If an owner is caught mistreating a mule, he is disqualified. Mules are eliminated until only one remains and that mule continues to jump until it reaches its limit. Three jumping events are held — for mules under 51-inches tall, over 51-inches tall and professional jumpers.
