Mules
A mule is a cross between a male donkey and a horse mare, and its size depends on its parents, from small 40-inch mules to draft mules 60 inches and up. Mules are very intelligent, have great stamina and live longer than horses, and they are ridden, driven, packed and shown.

Mules: questions
What is a mule?
A mule is a cross between a donkey stallion, called a jack, and a horse mare, according to the American Donkey and Mule Society. Mules can be used in the same sports as horses, both under saddle and in harness.
How big do mules get?
A mule's size depends on its parents. University of Kentucky 4-H materials describe miniature mules of 40 to 48 inches at the withers, saddle mules of 54 inches or more, and draft mules at least 60 inches tall.
How long do mules live?
University of Missouri Extension notes that mules live longer than horses. They also withstand more heat and stress and can carry and pull heavier loads, which is why so many people value them as long-term partners.
Are mules stubborn?
The American Donkey and Mule Society says mules are very intelligent and not truly stubborn. They simply decline to take risks, and what looks like stubbornness is usually a mule's way of signalling that something is wrong.
Has C&K Stables sold mules before?
Yes. C&K Stables has placed 2 mules with new owners, including Cash and Wyatt. Destinations we have on record include Ohio.
