Mule Saddles

A mule is a cross resulting from a Donkey Jack (Stud) and a horse mare. Because Mules are a cross between Two different Species, they are Sterile meaning they can not reproduce. One reason mules cannot reproduce is because they lack functioning reproductive equipment. The males don't produce sperm capable of fertilizing an egg. The male germ cells which eventually become sperm are either missing or degenerate to the point where complete mobile sperm production is virtually impossible. The few sperm which have been observed were deformed and immobile. Examination of the tissue in the testis also showed a lack of chromosomal pairing necessary for normal sperm production. In the female mules and hinnies ovulation is vary rare. Same as with the male mule, there is an almost complete lack of germ cells in the female ovaries.

A Gaited mule looks somewhat like both its parents. The head resembles both, with the ears shaped like the horses but MUCH longer. The eyes are more almond shaped. The neck is straight with little arch, even from crosses with horses known for an upright neck and arch.

Contrary to popular belief, mules are not stubborn unless they are ill treated. They naturally have a attach to people and very smart. They are extremely hardy animals that are not very susceptible to disease. They can take a much larger work load than horses and are not as likely to suffer from being overworked Saddle fit has to be addressed carefully don't try and fit a horse saddle on a mule, they hurt the mule's back. They have long Ears, short manes, and small feet like Donkeys, but like horses they are large with well shaped, muscular bodies. They make a sound that is half whinny and half the bray like Donkeys.
