Allot of it depends on what you are doing with them, but over all I would prefer a Qh over any mule.

That is like comparing apples to oranges. If I want to bake I will take the apple. If I want to share a treat I would take the orange.

I have 2 QH's in my barn so what do you think my vote would be? BUT a nice draft mule would be a treat to have.

I see your point there and to a large percent you're right. However, if your were looking at a mule and a Qh for the same job, comparing them is more realist: trail riding, hunting from horse back in the mountains, and I am sure there are several other jobs that they can both do.

I depends what type of horse is in the mule. If it was a haflinger mule - I would take the mule in a heartbeat because I always wanted one. Otherwise - it depends on what I want to do and the individual animals in question. Not all mules are alike and not all QHs are alike.

Mules have many of the same traits as their horse half.

How about adding in mammoth donkeys? I have heard only good things about them for being steady and safe mounts. If I come across one reasonably priced with the money in my pocket, I'd probably buy it for trail riding.
