Can I order the DVDs individually, or out of sequence?
Yes, you can purchase any number of DVDs at a time. The DVDs sell individually for $39.99 each, plus shipping and handling. However, we recommend that you begin with DVD #1, regardless of your experience or your mule’s age and experience. This will give you the solid foundation you need to reach your training goals, teaching you how to build a bond of trust with your mule and establish a good working relationship. Additionally, the information in each DVD builds on the preceding one, so we do recommend going in order. Our DVD series is like grade school for equines—each lesson builds upon skills learned in the previous one and lays the groundwork for skills to be learned in the future.
What is included with my DVD?
In addition to 40–50 minutes of detailed training instruction, every DVD of our equine training course comes with a print-ready workbook with photos and illustrations on the disc.
What are the different titles of DVDs 1 through 10? What are the contents of each?
Please visit our product catalog (PDF) or call 800-816-7566 for a brochure.
Do you have the training videos on VHS?
Unfortunately we are no longer producing new copies of the training series on VHS, and no longer have any remaining VHS tapes in stock. Limited stock may be available from third-party vendors like Amazon or eBay. All DVDs can be purchased in our online store.
How is my product shipped?
We ship our products nationally and internationally via UPS. Two-day service is available.

Will the DVDs play in non-US DVD players?
Yes, all 10 DVD titles are region-free and will play in any DVD player.
Are any of your products available in languages other than English?
Yes, we have translated our three large spiral-bound workbooks, Training Without Resistance: From Foal to Advanced Levels, Equine Management and Donkey Training and Equus Revisited into French, Spanish and German. The price is $39.99 per workbook, plus shipping/handling. They are available in the online store.
What DVDs do you recommend if I’m just starting out?
You should purchase DVD #1, Foal Training, whether your equine is a foal or not, and follow with DVD #8, Management, Fitting and Grooming. DVD #8 gives you a solid understanding of how to house, feed and take care of your mule or donkey. Then you should purchase DVD #2 and so on. If you skip DVDs, you will miss the foundational training you need to go on to the next steps.
Is DVD #1, “Foal Training,” just for young foals?
Nope! DVD #1 is a great foundation for any age animal.
Can I use Meredith’s training techniques for horses?
Yes, although her training techniques are specially designed for mules and donkeys, they are applicable to all equines. If a technique isn’t suitable for horses, Meredith says so.
Have there been reviews done for Meredith’s products?
Yes, she has received numerous written reviews in respected trade magazines. These products are also endorsed by both the American Donkey and Mule Society and the North American Saddle Mule Association. Her videos have received the prestigious Telly Award and Vision Award several years in a row.
“A terrific series of videos for all mule and donkey lovers.”—Western Horseman
“A wonderful resource for both new and ‘old’ mule owners. If you are interested in training your own mule, it’s a must have. If you’re not interested in training and just enjoy mules… it’s a must have.”—Mules and More magazine
What if I have questions or need help with training?
A unique facet of this training program is that Meredith welcomes your questions, and is available by phone and email. This website also contains a vast wealth of information, from the Ask Meredith page (where you can read answers to other questions or ask your own) to the archive of her Mule Crossing articles.
Have you aired Meredith’s techniques on national TV?
Yes. Beginning on April 2, 2000, we aired a 13-week nationally televised TV show on Outdoor Life Network. We have since aired her 26-week half-hour shows on the Discovery Channel, DISH Network and DirectTV.
