He is just to cute! I have to show him to Nate tonight. How did the jack get at the mare, if I may ask? I have mares and jacks but not near eachother, I'd kinda like to try breeding one or two to a jack but I've read where the babies come out larger than mini horse foals and I don't want to ask for trouble but the mini mules sure are darling.
We bought this mare already bred...her and three other mares were rtunning with a flashy black and white stallion so you can imajine our utter surprise to find this little guy.....there is no way to contact the previous owners ,unfortunetly, to find out if the jack was a miniature or a standard one. Dora, the mare is my biggest B mare....so that is a Blessing in its self...she had no problem at all just popped him out. He is small enough to walk under her. ..have not measured him but he is right at my knees and I am 6 feet tall..so approx 20-21 inches..I have also read where the mules baie have a different smell and some mares will not accept them..but Dora thinks he is the cats pajamas and is very protective. We are just so excited about our little guy...now all he needs is a name....was thinking of calling him Merlin cause he just magically appeared outa nowhere....hee hee
