What is Hinny?

Hinny is a hybrid offspring of a male horse and a female donkey, while a mule is a product of a female horse and a male donkey. Although the chips and hinnies have the same genetics, they show some generally distinguishing characteristics. It is assumed that the differences may be the result of one that is the type of mother, horse or donkey. Hinnies tend to be smaller than the mules and have a head -like horse and mane. The differences can be so slight that parents' knowledge is the only way to identify a hybrid as Hinny.

The mules are much more common than Hinnies. This is considered to be the genetics of parents. Mule descendants of donkeys and female horses are easier to conceive and produce a mule. It is also believed that the combination needed to produce Hinnies is less likely to want to behave. For these reasons, Hinnies are rare. Hinnies are different depending on the size of the parents. However, large Hinnies are very rare, because the mother must be a donkey mammoth, which is considered to be an endangered home breed. The color of the coat hinNows also differ very much depending on the appearance of parents.

Although men and female Hinnies are able to mate, descendants almost never lead. As with most hybrid animals, Hinnies are almost always sterile. Males are usually gelded to prevent them from wanting to connect. This makes it easier to train and control. A woman Hinny can experience estrus and confuse, but generally does not produce any offspring.

Hinny and Mule have an odd number of chromosomes, allowing the production of viable gametes, sex cells, almost impossible. Hinny has 63 chromosomes. This is the result of hybrid breeding because the male horse has 64 and the female donkey has 62. Although TZE was reports that female hinnies had offspring, there is only one documented case, while there are no reports of descendants of men. In one confirmed case, the woman Hinny joined the male donkey and produced a female foal.

greaterFor breeding for horses and donkey it is carried out for the production of gaps. These animals were considered to be superior working animals compared to Hinnies, although Hinny's perseverance is now considered the same as the gap of the same size. On the days of channel transport, the mules were considered to be a better choice than often smaller hinny for pulling charged boats along the canals. For centuries, a mule has been a preferred hybrid horses for all types of heavy work, but this can actually be the result of the rarity of Hinnies.
