Cross between a male horse and female donkey.
Similar to a mule, which is between a female horse and a male donkey.
No.
No, mules and hinny's are infertile, which means they can't breed.
A Hinny cannot reproduce.
The rate of sucess producing a Hinny is much lower than the success rate for a mule foal. That reason alone is a good one. The Hinny is also a much less robust animal as well. The cause of this discrepancy hinges on the differences in reproduction between a donkey and a horse an the jenny or mare's ability to recognize an support the developing conceptus.
Actually, mules can not give birth. A hinny is the offspring of a stallion and a donkey mare. a hinny is the offspring of a horse and a mule. hayip_20 on howrse.com
No, like a mule a hinny is almost always sterile.
Yes they are
This is a hinny. As mule-breeders say, "Mules can do it all!" Hinny breeders add "... but hinnies do it better". Because of the shortage of large donkeys most hinnies are pony-sized but it is possible to breed a large hinny from a jenny of around 14.2hh and a horse of 14.2-16.2hh. In Cyprus, there are lots of very high quality hinnies, bred from jennies of around 14hh and palfreys of Arab type in the same height range. The only thing to avoid when breeding a mule or a hinny is a pure-bred Arab. If you're looking to breed an Arab-type mule, go for a part-bred Arab or Anglo-Arab and cross it with an elegant donkey of good size (14hh or more).
You can make mules by breeding a male donkey with a female horse. but mules themselves can not reproduce. They are sterile. (99.9% of the time) note: a hinny is the baby of a male horse and a female donkey. (also sterile) If you want to get a good mule, you can breed different horses with horses with quality's you like, and breed donkeys with donkeys together with quality's you like. Then you can take the donkeys and horses foals and breed them together and make a "good" mule.
Well zebras and donkeys have been cross bred for years, they're called 'Zedonks' or 'Zonkies'. Both of these animals can be crossed on each other, however the hinny is a cross between a male horse and a female donkey and they are sterile so there is no way to add hinny genetics to the cross.
hinny
A hinny is not a horse, wild or otherwise. A hinny is the offspring of a horse stallion and a donkey jenny. Hinnys, unlike mules, are quite rare as the embryos produced through this mating are less viable than the donkey jack, mare cross.
The cross between a male donkey and a female horse is called a mule. Mules are generally infertile animals, and may only be produced by interbreeding between horses and donkeys. Interbreeding between a female donkey and a male horse is more rare, but produces a hinny. A hinny tends to be somewhat smaller than a mule, and is likewise infertile.
