Re: [haflingerfriends] non-Haflinger but fantastic

Apparently the mules watch the center chain and as it gets closer to
hitting them, they jump it. The position of the chain changes as the
team makes a turn. I was told that it only takes one time for the
chain to rub a mule before the mule figures it out. I think there are
also voice commands that might come from the driver.
