Yes, mules.......
The Pack Mules ride was one of the original Disneyland attractions in 1955.
With an expensive expansion in 1956 the mule ride became the Rainbow Ridge Pack Mules.
When Disneyland introduced the famous "E" ticket in 1959 that's what a mule ride required.
Yet another expansion in 1960 was inspired by Disney's short documentary nature films, the True Life Adventures. The ride became Pack Mules Through Nature's Wonderland.

The Pack Mules were disbanded in 1973. I was able to take the less than wild but sometimes unpredictable ride in 1971.
Looking at the following original photograph taken then it's something of a wonder it lasted that long.
A recalcitrant mule with a somewhat confused rider is seen blocking the progress of the mule train before it even gets to Nature's Wonderland.
