"I have had the pleasure of attending two of Brad’s clinics. They were
both in Kingman, KS and hosted by Michel...she takes care of every ones
needs. There’s just no quit in her. The same can be said for Brad
Cameron and his wonderful wife Shari and son Connor. Their patience with
mules is unbelievable, but their patience with people is unexplainable!
I have never met a more patient person with people than Brad... He just
kept explaining the same things over and over to me. The results being
Buddy, my mule and I are having a much better time together. Thank you
Brad!"
C.M. Oklahoma
"Thanks for all the help at the Bellevue clinic. I learned a lot as well
as my little brother, Brandon. I am real happy with my mule...I
especially like your gentle touch, as opposed to all of the rough
training out there."
W.F. Oregon
"Catching The Hard To Catch Mule is one great video. This video shows
exactly how it is done. No tricks, just plain facts. I would recommend
this video to all those interested in mules but also those who have hard
to catch horses.

R.P. Illinois
"Brad is a good and decent guy...very quiet and accessible
to both people and the mules.I definitely recommend going to
a mule clinic even if you don't have a mule. I never fully recognized
their uniqueness before and they charmed me. Brad did too, with
his sure manner and quiet intelligence. And there's plenty to
learn that will translate to working with your horse. For me,
in fact, a different perspective is sometimes the one that triggers
the greatest insight."

"I want to tell you how much I enjoyed your clinic. The
one thing I took away from the clinic is that it is up to me
to see that Merle does what I ask of him, and to accomplish that
I have to do whatever it takes to get it. By the end of the clinic
he was responding lighter...which was very encouraging to me!
Brad and Shari, what you are doing for mule people is great stuff,
Keep up the good work! I was pleased to observe that it was a
labor of love for you and not just a job."
M.C. Pennsylvania
"I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how much
I enjoyed the Mulemanship Clinic this past weekend in Iowa. I
am hoping that I can continue to work with Harley and develop
him into an excellent saddle mule through the use of your tapes.
Your insight and patience with mules is never ending. With each
situation that arises I can see how your experience has developed
you into the man that you are. Keep up the good work!"
D.G. Illinois
"First let me say how much I have learned from your videos.
I knew next to nothing before I purchased them and they have
worked very well. Their quality is excellent and your instruction
is very clear. By following your instruction, even a no-nothing
like me can train his mule!"
B.B. Kansas
"I recently had the opportunity to attend a Brad Cameron
Clinic in Williams, Arizona. I have a two year old molly mule
that I signed up to participate with in the Colt Starting Class.
Brad is a true lover of mules. I gained quite a bit of insight
into the mind of the mules and their way of thinking, as well
as being impressed with Brad's non threatening and patient method
of working with and handling mules. If you ever have an opportunity
to attend one of the Cameron Clinics, please do so. It's worth
every cent. Whether you participate with your mule, or just attend
as a spectator, you will leave with a world of new knowledge.
The people attending are mule lovers, just like me, and were
a pleasure to meet. I now have some new out-of-state friends.
I want to thank Brad and Shari for sharing themselves with our
mules and us."
M.M. Nevada
"Brad, Shari and Dally have won our Canadian hearts,
and I cannot say again how much we appreciated their efforts
to fulfill this weekend. One of the things, in my opinion, that
makes Brad such an exceptional teacher is his ability to work
with people. Never did I hear a harsh word about man or beast.
Everyone was treated with the utmost respect and patience. Brad's
treatment of the mule and donkey was no less. His exceptional
love and understanding of these longears is evident at once.
Brad gets into the mind, not with harsh bits and equipment, not
with intimidation, punishment or any of these very ineffective
ways some people still think are the ways to handle a mule! This
was really demonstrated at the clinic by two molly mules, who
had been given up on by their "trainers" and sent home.
However, their owners didn't give up on these mules and with
Brad's guidance both turned out to be willing, lovely animals.
Both owners were thrilled with the animals they took home. It
was a joy to my heart to see these "throw away mules"
saved because of one man's understanding and commitment to these
so often misunderstood creatures. Thanks Brad and Shari for traveling
around the country and improving the lives of hundreds of mules
and donkeys thorough your clinics and videos. They can't speak,
but if they could, you would be their hero!!"
M.M. Canada
"...The one comment I heard over and over again from both
clinic auditors and participants was the patience Brad had in
working with every rider and mule combination. His thorough knowledge
of the mule and mulemanship and his ability to effectively communicate
that knowledge to the participants enabled him to make sure each
team had the opportunity to successfully complete each movement.
The other often repeated comment was that he wasn't bound by
a time schedule. It took as long as it took to get the job done.
Nothing was cut short or eliminated just because the hands on
the clock were on certain numbers. On the last day, Brad and
his mule gave a demonstration of bridle less riding that took
your breath away. The entire weekend was definitely an inspiration
to all of us to improve our mulemanship. His clinic is definitely
a "must" for anyone out there with a mule who has the
desire to "ride with pride".
R.B. Pennsylvania
"I own a mammoth jenny, 61" tall. What I enjoyed
most about Brad was that he is as good with Donkeys as with mules!
My jenny hadn't been ridden much before the clinic and is a great
riding mount now."
H. M. New Mexico
"I really like Brad Cameron's gentle yet firm approach
and the respect he has for and instills in the animals. It was
a joy to watch him train those mules, as any event where expertise
and love for what you're doing comes together."
S. C. Washington
"Brad set a very positive and encouraging tone from the
outset of the clinic, which continued throughout. His mule and
people skills are excellent and when we sat down at meals to
visit and review the days events, there was a great amount of
enthusiasm for what folks were seeing and actually doing in the
sessions."
B. H. New York
"Brad never gave up on someone and moved on the the next
person, he stayed with you until you got some improvement with
your mule...and believe me, after three days all the riders were
exhibiting a marked improvement. I believe anyone who hasnt been
to a Brad Cameron Clinic should attend, even if only as a spectator.
I'd like to thank Brad again for spending the time that he has
with all the riders and spectators at the clinics, explaining
over and over again what it is we need to feel and see in our
mules to make more willing partners."
B. K. Missouri
"...Once again, I have learned a lot from an outstanding
clinician. With all due respect to all the horseman clinicians
out there, I believe that Brad is the man to see if you own or
work with a mule or donkey. He is dedicated to these animals
(he does not accept horses in his clinics) and to teaching humans
that, contrary to popular (and historical) opinion, mules can
be very light and responsive. He is friendly, attentive, humble,
and humorous. It is very educational and rewarding to watch him
handle these highly intelligent and challenging creatures with
grace, finesse and obvious concern for their well being."
G. N. Washington
"Thanks for all your help with my mule communication
and riding skills. You have really shown me some useful suggestions
on when to, why to, and how to. Great clinic! Hope to see you
next year."
J. H. New York
"... Brad Cameron puts on an excellent clinic. I would
highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand their mule
or donkey better. He is not a grandstander, but is genuinely
interested in helping people and their animals. He gave each
one of us very individual attention and answered all our questions
even being available to us at dinner and the motel after the
clinic sessions were over. He uses many natural horsemanship
techniques and is always conscious to rub on the animal to let
it know he cares and wants to let them know they did something
right. He's good with people too! I would go back to one of his
clinics in a minute. Well worth the time and money."
N. A. New Mexico
"I've just returned from a three day mule clinic in Ozark,
Mo, put on by Brad Cameron of Cameron Mule Company, Corvallis,
Mt. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Brad is a
very humble, kind man who genuinely has a true love for mules.
I saw a definite turn around with the mules in three days...Anyone
who didn't come to the clinic, either as a participant or an
observer lost out, and so did their mules. If people genuinely
love their mules and want to enhance the mule industry, participate
in one of Brad's clinics, you won't be disappointed."
M. R. Kansas
"It is very gratifying to see a mule clinician with Brad's
integrity with animals get the recognition he deserves. It's
been a long time that many held the view that a two by four and
barb wire bits were needed to train mules. Thanks to Brad and
Shari we can usher in the 20th Century with a new outlook on
the mule."
