OK, when I was a kid, I remember folks having "little mules" and "big mules".
A neighbor up the road had a pair of black mules that were HUGE. Very nice animals - he would adjust his ground driven sickle mower with the slack reins tied to the mower seat, using only voice commands.

Both of these teams were used daily in the farming operation. Neither man owned a tractor.
Always wondered about the difference of the two types of mules.
