DESCRIPTION:

Mule Days originated in 1840 in Columbia, Tennessee. At the time, it was known as Breeders Day.

In times past, Mule Days would be a market for trading, breeding, and buying stock. In modern times it is a week-long festival in Columbia.

Mules are hybrids, half donkey and half horse. The mother is usually a horse, and the father is typically a donkey, also known as a jack. Mules cannot reproduce. The first US-bred mules are believed to have originated with General George Washington.

Mules were much more suited to the rough terrain and conditions of the expanding country. Unlike horses, they didn’t require grain, were less prone to injuries and overeating, and lived longer. Because their hooves are smaller and more upright, mules tend to be much safer and surefooted in rocky and uneven terrain.
