Garrison Mulemanship

Paul Garrison III, is a well-known mule trainer and clinician from the Texas Hill Country, where he operates his own Garrison Mulemanship and Training school near Medina, Texas. Often called the “Texas Mule Whisperer,” Paul has dedicated his life to improving how people understand and work with mules—animals long misunderstood as stubborn or uncooperative. He discovered his passion for mules early on while working with a friend’s animals, and over the years he has taught countless owners how to develop trust, confidence, and clear communication with these intelligent, sure-footed partners.

Paul’s mule training philosophy centers on respect, leadership, and practical handling methods that honor the mule’s instincts and natural abilities. Rather than forcing compliance, his approach teaches riders to become trustworthy leaders whom the mule wants to follow, unlocking the animal’s potential for riding, packing, and ranch work. Through clinics, demonstrations, and his online content, Paul brings high-energy, accessible instruction that helps both mules and their humans develop balanced, confident partnerships
