A female mule is called a hinney. I have always been told a female donkey is called a Jenny and a female mule is a Jennette. I come from a long line of barnyard savvy Oklahomans. ............
Actually that is an incomplete answer.
A hinney, female, is the particular product of only the mating of a horse stallion, to a female, or jennie, burro or donkey. Such matings have a low pregnancy rate.
The product of a donkey stallion mated to a horse mare is called a Molly and more strictly a Mare Mule.
Molly is very common. Mare Mule is not used in casual conversation much.
Mollies are not hinney's nor hinney's Mollies.
But both are female mules.
Can one tell the difference just by visual observation? Some long time mule people claim they can. I cannot. Not and be sure. Correction. The hinney is in fact either male or female. Horse hinny means male, Mare hinny, female. Both are the product of a stallion horse being mated to a donkey female, a jennie.
Mules, male or female, Horse mule, (sometimes called a John) and Mare mule, (or Mollie) respectively, are both the product of a donkey male, (Jack) impregnating a horse mare.

a male donkey and a female horse make a mule
No, a mule is considered a hybrid as it is half donkey half horse, and donkeys and horses are not different breeds but different species (although they are in the same family). Mules are good as they have the characteristics of both donkeys and horses. They cannot breed due to an irregular number of chromosomes although there have been a very small number of reported times when they have managed.
