What is the mule?

Mule is a sterile cross between male donkey or Jack and female horse. When the stallion is associated with a female donkey or Jenny, the result is hinny . For centuries, the mules have been bred for centuries as a ride, work and management of animals and were widely used throughout Europe and the New World until the car began to replace horse methods as a traffic method. Breeders continue to increase the mules as pleasure of animals and many ranks still have the labor force of the mule. The mules can withstand hot weather and difficult working conditions that could hurt horses, but are not as difficult to handle as donkeys. Especially in the American West, the durability of the mule was a very valuable feature, because the weather and trails could sometimes be extreme. The mules are also known for being stubborn, but are unusually patient and gentle with beginning riders.

appearance, the mule is similarly similar to donkeys, with several horse traits. The mules have long ears, short manes and partially hairless tails. Come in a number of sizes depending onBreeding and are also available in color range. Due to their versatility, the mules are used in many of the same sports horses and sometimes they overcome horses in the competition. In addition, as working animals are often selected on the holiday companies on the trails, as they can carry much weight and tolerate less qualified riders.

Although several rare cases of fertile mugs have been recorded, most of the mules are sterile. This is because donkeys have 62 chromosomes, while horses have 64, resulting in 63 chromosomes in the gap. Because chromosomes cannot be divided, the mule will not be able to produce offspring. In general, male mules, also called johns , are to reduce behavior problems. Female mules are known as Mollies .

Because the mules themselves are sterile, the breeders of the mule keep the supplies of horses and the donkeys with which they behave, and have taken note of especially good crosses and their replication. Most breeders prefer a breedENO mules because they are larger than Hinnies, and they are also easier to behave in general because female donkeys are easy to impregnate. Breeders of the mule choose for attractive and powerful mules with accessible dispositions and are pleased to correspond to their limits with potential owners.
