          What kind of Mule does your Father-in-law likes in what pose position? I would normally google for good picture reference and study how the body structures a well the muscles.

            This will get you a start. The plates are of horses (scroll down, there are many, amongst other animals!), but the basic skeletal and musculature structure is similar and can be adapted to a mule.

            Couple this with good photo references and you will be on your way. 🙂

                It’s worth picking up, and you can get it for dirt cheap too. That’s only a small part of the book, as a preview.
