They are quite different when you look closely
Wow, I didn't know you could do that...the male horse, I assume, is a small breed? As far as I knew, the mom had to be a horse because she is bigger. If you had a big male horse mate with a small female donkey...what happens if the foal is really big? It would be likely to kill her, no?

I've only ridden horses. Although when I was a kid they had "stuffed" animals...what do you call them? Like taxodermy or whatever you call it. They were real, but they stuffed them Anyway when I was a kid someone put me on a stuffed lion o_O I have a picture of it somewhere.
