Trivia
- ◆A mule is the offspring of a horse and a donkey.
- ◆During the Stranger side-mission "I Know You", both the Strange Man and Mother Superior have mules, but Marston is unable to ride them, as they lack a lead.
- ◆Although labeled "mules" in-game, the animals found in Red Dead Redemption are actually donkeys, as they show every physical characteristic of a donkey. In real life, mules can be the same size or larger than horses, and their ears, while longer than those of a horse, are generally shorter than a donkey's.
- ◆This difference is rectified in Redemption 2.
- ◆Furthermore, Nuevo Paraíso residents call them "burros", which means "donkey". The Spanish for "mule" would be "mula" or "mulo".
- ◆Additionally, the Zebra Donkey is considered a Mule.
- ◆Contrary to their inability to jump in the game, real-life mules are excellent jumpers. Mules and donkeys are popular for contests in which they jump increasingly high poles from a standstill, a feat of which few horses are capable.
