    Over the last year my idea of a large number of knights on horseback now includes a constant background of "good boy". I'm not sure why that is.

    Jason: Measuring a horse's back is actually quite interesting and complex, you see...

    3:45 apparently, when you combine a horse's neigh with a donkey's bray, you get a horrifying screaming noise. So that's a thing.
  • @ShaneWalta
    A part of me was expecting him to eat the paper once you'd finished with the measurements
  • @magoobaguy
    I feel a mule's screams would be perfect for a dinosaur movie

    I love watching no name. He saying “I’m bored I want to get going “. You can tell he loves you by the way he follows when ever you walk away. Horses/mules when treated property are just like big dogs affectionate and loyal, except they don’t climb in your lap.

    When I was a little girl, a very long time past, pre flexi curves; we had a saddler come and measure a horse for a new saddle. He had a chamois leather cloth marked with a line down the centre and “stripes “ marked off the line each about 4” or a “ hand “ apart. He used like you a strip of lead In exactly the same way as you did your flexi curve. When he next came it was ti check the fit of the wooden and steel tree. It sat on the horses back as though it was made of wet pasta! But with a gap over the withers. He then built the saddle around this tree to suit both his customer and the horse. I never got to sit in the saddle Horse too big and me too small, but I never forgot the process. I love your series. I learn a lot of things that I already know but it is a pleasure and a privilege to watch and listen to a true horseman. Believe me , I’ve known a lot of wannabes! Carry On Knightly!

    The average Joe: *Worries about the car getting dirty during the pandemic Jason: "So I was measuring my Battle Mule's back for a new saddle..."
  • @TheSevenFaces3
    He’s actually a good boy for not spooking when he knocked the shields, love these vids Mr. K your lessons are showing a new generation the wonder of horsemanship.
  • @WitchArachne
    God I love mules. They're always so obnoxiously expressive.
  • @patmccoy8758
    Trying to get Mule with No Name to cooperate is like herding cats! He's going to do what he wants.
  • @silviaf2725
    The enemies: What? They've got war mules? Hahaha LMAO! The mules: 3:43 The enemies: Heaven above, they summoned demons! Run! Every man for himself !
  • He obviously loves following you, which he does every time you move away from him. Clearly he also likes hearing "Good booooy" Found this very educational!
  • @watchdealer11
    Two videos ago: using axe to chop off a head Now: "don't roll, you silly boy." I love this channel.
  • 3:42 I admire Jason for staying professional after hearing one of the scariest screams I've ever heard.
  • @trullala3220
    Oh he is trying to be a good boy so hard. He manages for 12 seconds! What a good job.
  • @ClovellyDonkeys
    Love it ! Please could we have an update . Such a gorgeous mule and so lucky to have a sensitive horseman to care for him
