The mules have put a little pizazz into our shelter rentals. The team has also appeared in parades promoting the park district. It has also been featured at special events, and has even pulled Christmas Carolers consisting of park district employees and their families with one park board member, around a local shopping center parking lot. It's not enough to have a good team of horses or mules. You also need a good wagon.
Draft animals are strong enough to warrant some caution.
We designed our wagon for safety. Not only is it a great people mover, it's a great anchor. We started with wheels, axles and a fifth-wheel from an old grain wagon. A group of creative park district employees built a flat-bed of oak milled from a tree that had to be cut down. The seating area is about four straw bales long by two bales wide.
