Mule Handling Clinics and Free Demonstrations Daily

Jerry Tindell of Tindell's Horse & Mule School will be offering daily Mule Clinics and demonstrations at 11 am and 5 pm in the Mule Days Round Pen.

Could you and your mule use a little "tune-up?" Does a bit of "polish” sound like it could make a difference? Schedule some one-on-one time with Jerry Tindell – you and your mule at Mule Days!

To schedule a private session with Jerry Tindell, call Patty Bevers at (760) 703-5974, or stop by the Tindell Horse & Mule School horse trailer at one of the clinics.
