Got my first triumph magazine today


Mules aren't a species, can't breed on their own, so can't exactly go extinct. They need to be a distinct species to begin with, capable of breeding in the wild, not some hybrid.
 

And the reverse (stallion over a jenny) is a hinny. Hinnies tend to be smaller than mules because the donkey womb in which they develop is smaller than a horses. That's the theory anyway. Makes sense to me. I once had twin foals born (pure Arabian) and they were tiny; literally half sized. Apparently a physiological limitation rather than genetic.
 


Your neighbor's Mule is "A" typical of a Mule. I can let my Mules pasture for the winter. Then in spring they ride like you just rode them last week. Never get barn sour, as Mules like to get out for a ride. They look at it like a job.
 


Let me give you my opinion for what it's worth. If you are not going to ride what ever equestrian you buy, don't get one!!!! No don't do it!!! They are super expensive pets! You think you spend money on your Triumph, well wait till ya get an equestrian. I will say I told ya so if you get one. Yes I will.
