Most documented cases of mules/hinnies being fertile have been in the female mule (molly/mare mule). Also, keep in mind it’s likely that more mules may be fertile, but we commonly do not attempt to breed mules. Mules and hinnies that have foaled in the past were bred to jacks (male donkeys).

Mules are the offspring of a male donkey and female horse Mules combine characteristics of both horse and donkey parents to create a tougher, more resilient working animal. A hinny, the offspring of a male horse and female donkey is much rarer and more closely resembles its mother with the long ears of a donkey.

One quality not appreciated in mules is their intelligence. Mules are a hybrid of a mare (female horse) and a male donkey, but a mule is more intelligent than either. This has been tested scientifically and shown. Mules were more sure-footed in snow than horses.

mule back. A treed saddle built specifically for a mule may have less rock to the tree and may work. A treeless saddle, particularly of a less structured type or a type that will break in and mold to the mule’s back, may also be a good fit. Lack of withers may result in problems with the saddle shifting laterally.

Overall, mules tend to be healthier, sounder and live longer than horses. This might result from hybrid vigor, the genetic superiority of crossbred animals. Mules are less prone to injuries because they’ve got a good sense of self-preservation.

Your saddle will move an inch to an inch and a half forward and back, left and right. That is optimum for the comfort of your mule. More than an inch and a half, your saddle will go forward and get on top of the scapula. That scapula moves up and down like pistons.

How To Make A Moscow Mule:

1. Fill a glass or copper mug with ice. Crushed ice is traditional, but any kind will do.

4. Stir and serve!

A Moscow Mule is a type of alcoholic mixed drink that is vodka based with lime and ginger beer and is considered one of the most popular ladies drink in many countries. Its trademark is to be served in a copper mug with a wedge of lime placed at the rim of the mug.

Healthy Treats Fruit and veg (apples, pears, watermelon, oranges, bananas, carrots, turnips, sweet potato, squash and swedes – including skins and rinds) are healthy and will add variety to your donkey’s diet.

The grass will not cause any mental problems in mules, but they should not be on free feed either, as they can often overeat and have the same reaction as being on pasture.

Hay. Most mules do well on ordinary timothy or grass hays. They don’t need the richer legume hays, such as alfalfa. While mules might consume lesser quality hays without incident, it’s not a good idea to feed any equine poor quality hay.

Generally, mules can graze all day on hay or grains, and they can eat anything horses can eat. You can provide treats such as apples, carrots and other fruits or vegetables. Fresh water should always be available.
