![]() But right from the beginning, he faced a major obstacle. In addition to being the father of our country, George Washington was an enlightened agriculturalist-a visionary who, early on, saw the true value of the mule. If only a mule could talk, most people would be surprised at how smart they really are! If they are treated with force and abuse, they are not likely to comply with your wishes. When treated with patience, kindness and understanding, they learn to trust and obey. Mules and donkeys actually have a natural attraction to humans. Donkeys and mules have been labeled “stubborn” for centuries, but it is really only an abundance of common sense and a strong desire for self-preservation that might make them inclined to resist. A mule gets its athletic ability from the horse and its intelligence from the donkey. Both are very strong, but the mule has greater physical strength for its size, and more endurance. Think of a football player’s muscle build compared to that of a ballerina’s. However, a male mule should be gelded in order to make him a safe and sociable animal.Įxcept for the long ears, mules look very similar to horses, but their muscle composition is different. Mules can be either male or female, but, because of the odd number of chromosomes, they can’t reproduce. A horse has 64 chromosomes, and a donkey has 62. A mule is the offspring of a male donkey (a jack) and a female horse (a mare). ![]() ![]() ![]() Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe.
