yes. We have pasture mini donkeys and goats together for years.
No. Sheep and goats are close enough species-wise and if you cross them you get what is called a shoat. But horses and goats are too far apart genetically for a successful cross.
Any equine, including donkeys and mules, can pull their own weight (cart n harness animals) and carry 20% of their own body weight. So if your mini is 300 lbs he can 60lbs (that includes tack as well). Donkeys are reputed to being a bit stronger than horses, but the standard rule of thumb is they can pull how much they weight and they can ride 20% of what they weigh.
Females are better together, as even neutered brothers will at times fight
Sheep can be very sweet and loving. But they also can be very stupid, they spook easily, and sometimes end up killing themselves. Goats are actually much smarter than a sheep.98% of sheep have wool. All sheep have cloven toes, two ears, a nose, two eyes, a mouth, four stomachs, a tail, four legs, 14 ribs, and bad breath. They vary in size but stand with a 45 degree angle to their sholder, a generally straight back, and are bigger than goats. The major difference between goats and sheep is size and coat. All goats have coarse hair, short thick heads, are harder fleshing than sheep.
The Mini rex was created by humans, there are none in the wild
Yes they are both herbivores.
Horses get along best with their own kind. But from personal knowledge the do great with goats, dogs, mini horses-mini donkeys.
mini donkeys. nothing more to it.
mini-mules?
donkeys are about the size between a cow and a goat, mammoth donkeys on the other hand are as big as a horse
Height and weight can change because of certain variables, like; Pedigree Feed Usually, Mini Donkeys are around 7 hh (28 inches) Their weight can be 60 to 120 pounds.
Some breeds include but are not limited to: Alpine, LaMancha, Nubian, Oberhasli, Saanen, Toggenburg, Fainting goats, Angora, Cashmere, Pygmy and mini breeds.
No, a goat is a goat not a dog nor a stoat and a horse is a horse ...of course.
The approx. life span of a Pygmy Goat is 10 to 18 years.

Donkeys come in 3 sizes, mini, standard and mammoth. Even a mammoth is usually only the size of a light horse. Donkeys also are more adapted to harsh environments than the horse and can get more "bang for his buck" out of his feed ration. So the short answer is a donkey eats less to maintain his weight that does a horse.
Yes, you can ride miniature horses but it depends on the breed. The mini miniatures are not able to be ridden but have the ability to be driven.
