Beautiful mule for sure. Very first gait in the video sounded like a foxtrot, had that 'chunk of meat and two potatoes' sound. Sadly, rack looks like she's all stressed out, head high, tail clamped tight and furious swishing. I like to see a rack with a nodding head, ears and jaw flopping in rythme and the tail relaxed.
Yes, it's a mule (cross between donkey father and horse mother). A Hinny (cross between a horse father and a donkey mother) looks much different, and is not always a good idea because of size discrepancy and resulting temperament. The largest stallion you could comfortably get away with to produce a Hinny would be a Welsh or Hackney Pony size. Male Donkey: Jack Horse: Stallion Mule: Jack/John (depends on region) Female Donkey: Jenny Horse: Mare Mule: Molly
ƈąŋɬɛཞıŋɠ ƙყƖıɛ gaited horses have a lot more gaits than trotting horses. the racking gaits lessen the load on any one hoof, and there is no suspension in between footfalls like with a trot. because if that, they can easily go faster without damage to the hoof or joints
