Interesting, this hinney v mule thing. I called my dad, he has a degree in animal husbandry. He brought up 2 reasons. He said the gestation period is longer in a jenny than a mare, that the mare could have a colt every year, not so with a jenny, it took longer. Also, and I am not sure how to put this, but a jack and a mare are less selective about their breeding partners. The stalion and the jenny often refuse each other, much more selective. He went on further with the mule/hinney and said the purist in the field consider them the same and that individualism is more important. Further instructions were if you want the best mule bread a male donkey, the jack, with a belgum draft mare. He also said that when he was in college that they had several zebras they were breading with donkeys and horses. Called them Zenoneys and Doknras. My dad is smart, old and crazy. Not sure if he is teasing me or this happened. Plus my hearing is not to good. How many chromosons does a zebra have ? Horses have 24 and donkeys have 22. Any experts out there ?
