There is an opportunity for my miniature stallion to breed a miniature donkey jenny. The jenny is a ten-year-old pinto colored ex-show donkey that has had several donkey foals.
The owners want a ''mule'' and have asked me if I would be willing to stand my stallion for them. I would be able to try this.
My stallion will be five years old next year and has covered two horse mares last year. He does not have a huge drive to breed and is very mellow and gets along with my other horses. I honestly don't know what he'd think of a donkey... in ''THAT'' situation though?
I tried to search the Forum for past threads on breeding mini stallions to donkey mares. It seems that it is ''difficult'' to get the stallion to cover the donkey, which is why the traditional mule is more common.
I understand this... but does anyone have tips or tricks to entice the stallion to figure out it's okay?
I would much appreciate anything you have to say.
