muleteer
Stubborn beast handler
A muleteer is a person who drives mules, especially as pack animals for transporting goods over difficult terrain.
The occupation was once common in mountainous regions and along trade routes where mules' sure-footedness made them superior to horses or oxen: The muleteers led their animals up the narrow mountain pass.
