I'm not entirely sure how they breed hinnies, but i think they generally use mammoth donkeys, and smallish horses or even ponies. Mules are more common than hinnies as they are stronger and more intelligent, and apparently jennets (female donkeys) are less fertile than mares. I think hinnies arwe really cute though
