Which would be better: Haflinger gelding, Haflinger/Saddlebred cross gelding, or Haflinger mule?
Jobs would be general hauling/pulling, plowing, and occasional riding, living on 3 acres, with a cow/calf pair. We have found all 3 of those on Craigslist, but are unsure which would be better suited for us.
The Haflinger cross gelding (2 years) is green broke, hasn't been trained with pulling/driving/etc. The Haflinger mule (5 years) has been trained to ride/drive. The Haflinger gelding (9 years) has been trained to ride/drive as well.
Any opinions?
