Dirigible grade draft gelding with belled tail sculpt by Maggie Bennett painted by Linda Wilkinson to spotted black. A green mule had its tail shaved. By the time the mule was broke to pack, a 'bell' was trimmed in the tail. Once broke to drive, a second bell was added below the first. Broke to ride, a third tassel was trimmed below the second. Thus, a three-bell mule was a well-schooled animal. Perhaps not applicable to draft horses but interesting to know.
