Hello everyone. I know nothing about mules, burros, donkeys etc...,
but I'm sure there are lots of experts out there that do. My question is,
is it possible for there to be a cross between a horse and one of these?
For example; an equine that is half horse half mule, or an equine that is
half burro half horse, or an equine that is half mule half burro. Am
I correct in believing that Mules are sterile? What about burros? (are
burros and donkeys the same thing, and is that what Mary was riding to
Bethlehem?)
I bought a 4 year old Mustang mare this past summer, and the older she
gets, the more she is looking like some kind of Ass. I am
wondering if out in the wild a mustang bred with a wild ass or vice
versa, and this mare is the result? Or, is she just an odd looking
horse? She is amazingly quiet and calm, nothing spooks her. I will try to
get some pictures to show you, see what you think. (Either way, I'm
getting her ready for her first ride in Feb., or March) And keeping on
topic, I haven't cantered her yet. She is too uncoordinated and
unbalanced. She's still a baby. We just walk and trot and are working
on keeping a steady pace, paying attention to ME, responding to my cues, and
relaxing.
