The offspring is called a mule, it is infertile due to the different number of chrosome pairs in the parents. Horses have 64 chromosomes, donkeys have 62, the offspring will have 63 chromosomes.
Some may say that when a male horse breeds a female donkey that is how female mules are born, however, that is not necessarily true. Hinnies (female mules) can be born either way.
