Clearly they should be called a Dorse and a Honkey.
Is there any advantage to using pure bred horses and donkeys?
chopper, it's like dogs...there are some great mutts, but if you're going to go to all the trouble to maintain an animal, you may want to do some homework and get the breed characteristics and behaviours you desire.
I've owned a quarterhorse/thoroughbred cross that was wonderful, known some great thoroughbreds and draft horses, but my most fun horse was a wild mustang (read: mutt/quarterhorse). But that was because of his personality and the five years he spent wild before I got him.
Oh, and I have met a couple of wonderful mules...don't know any hinnys.
Gregor Mendel is spinning in his grave.
I wanna see a Honkey!
Just look in a mirror, grump. ; )
Poor hinny..It's so underrated and picked on.
