Health Concerns of Mules and Donkeys..


Part 4 ..


More common Mule/Donkey terms..


Types--Mules (and hinnies) can be bred from any horse or pony breed. Therefore, they are listed by the using type rather than the size or breed of the horse parent. Included in the types are:


Miniature mule--Bred from various types of pony mares or Miniature Horse mares. The cutoff in size to be considered a miniature is 50 inches at the withers.


Saddle mule--Bred from mares of riding horse breeding. These vary in size from small to very large, but have riding conformation and looks.


Pack/Work mules--Bred from mares with some draft blood or of heavy work types rather than for saddle conformation.


Draft mules--These are the largest mules and are bred from various draft breeds. (One of the most popular crosses, in my observation, is the Belgian mare bred to a Mammoth jack.) The larger and heavier, the better with these mules, but refinement is desired as well.


Gaited mules--These mules are bred from gaited horses, including the Tennessee Walker, Missouri Foxtrotter, Saddlebred, Paso Fino, and Peruvian Paso. Gaited mules have their own registry--The American Gaited Mule Association.

With the above information as a base, let's take a look at some of the similarities and some of the differences among donkeys and mules and horses.

The 7 Ups


1. Wake Up !!

Decide to have a good day.

"This is the day the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Psalms 118:24


2. Dress Up !!

The best way to dress up is to put on a smile. A smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

"The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart."

I Samuel 16:7


3. Shut Up!!

Say nice things and learn to listen.

God gave us two ears and one mouth,
so He must have meant for us to do twice as much listening as talking. "He who guards his lips guards his soul."

Proverbs 13:3


4. Stand Up!!

. . . for what you believe in.

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. "Let us not be weary in doing good; for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good..."

Galatians 6:9-10


5. Look Up !!

. . . to the Lord.

"I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me".

Philippians 4:13


6. Reach Up !!

. . . for something higher.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path."

Proverbs 3:5-6


7. Lift Up !!

. . . your Prayers.

"Do not worry about anything; instead
PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING."

Philippians 4:6
