I am new to mules and am looking at getting a yearling molly mule. I have a mixed herd of horses and donkeys. My donkeys are really shy, so probably not going to interact much with the mule. I have two mini mares and two full grown mares, one of which is definitely the lead mare. I have read that mules often develop unhealthy obsessions with mares, especially lead mares. Is this likely to be an issue with the molly mule and my lead mare? I like to take my lead mare off on daily walks and don't want the molly mule to be unsafe and distressed every time that happens. If there's a high risk of that, I'd rather not get the mule. Curious to hear from any mule owners/experts what the risk of this is. They are all on 24/7 turnout on a dry lot track together. Thank you!
