Subject: hinny?

Hello,
We just took in a BLM mustang/or is it a hinny? Is there a way to tell for sure if a animal is a horse or hinny with out blood work. This little 3 year old has mule coloring(bay with light brown trim), horse ears, stands very upright on short straight hooves, and has a mule (rounded head). We have had six long time horse/mule people look at him and they can not agree. If his ears were longer it would be a no brainer.

Help...

Hinny, a cross between a female donkey and a male horseAt first glance a hinny seems to be a mule, but on closer inspection the hinny is more subtly like a horse. The hinny's head and face are often more horselike; the ears are usually shorter and sometimes rounder than a mule's ears.

The hinny usually has a fuller tail and more horselike limbs and feet than the mule, and its body is more like that of a horse. In temperament, the young hinny favors the donkey, tending to be gentler and less nervous than the young mule. Hinnies are more likely to neigh like a horse than to bray. But, as with all equines, their voices are distinctive to the individual animal.
