You get a mule.Cross a horse and donkey you get a mule. Female mules CANNOT get pregant.

EDIT - Actually, that's not entirely true. RARELY, mules CAN be bred. It's only really seen in females, though. Males will probably not be able to breed. Sorry...

All male mules, like all other mammalian hybrids, are completely sterile. Females can, however, be persuaded to ovulate by the use of fertility drugs and can be crossed with horses, donkeys or any other equid. The University of Beijing crossed a mule with a donkey in 1980 and the offspring, Dragon Foal, now works on campus pulling a cart to deliver goods. She has herself given birth to a foal by another donkey. In theory, each successive generation will become more fertile.

Donkeys are not called mules. A donkey is one member of the Equine family. A Horse is a different member of the Equine family. When a donkey Jack is crossed on a mare, the resultant offspring is a Mule. The genetics of donkeys and horses are similar, but the difference results in their offspring (a mule or hinney) being sterile. They cannot reproduce.

Mules are an offspring of a horse and a donkey because when the two mate there is an odd number of chromosome pairs. Horses have 64 while donkeys only have 62 chromosome pairs, the offspring will have 63 pairs, leaving it infertile. If the donkey is the mother, the animal is called a hinny.

There is no other way to produce a mule. All mules are sterile, meaning they cannot reproduce.
