I don't mean to be a jerk, but isn't that a mule?

As in two by four upside the head?

Oh wait...

Never mind.

Speaking of mules, back when the kids had (I am really hating to admit
this) horses, as a consequence of having horses, I had a mule - nice
looking one too. Named him Ralph. He was a rescue mule and came with
the two quarter horses we had.

He was actually fun to ride, not at all stubborn and he liked apples -
as in really liked apples.

I don't know. At one time I learned what the differences were between
mules, donkeys, jackasses and ..... there's a couple more I think. One is
a
cross between a horse and a donkey or something and is sterile. I decided
that this knowledge was a complete waste of space of my diminishing grey
matter storage capacity so I erased it from memory.

10-4.

It is kind of interesting though. There are a whole bunch of
different varieties from riding to draft and everything in between.

In fact one of the local farmers has draft mules bred from Percherons
- damn things are huge. He enters all the local pulling contests and
his two mules out pull even the bigger draft horses (I can't think of
their names now - some kind of exotic draft horse from Europe).



Maybe Ardennes?

There are several types of draft horses ... Mrs.E's friend has Shires.
Then there are Percherons, Clydesdales, Irish Draft and a few others. Many
people assume they are all Clydesdales from watching too many Super Bowl
games.
