What is a "hinny"?

A Hinny is a hybrid animal created by breeding a male horse and a female donkey. They have physical traits of both parents, with a horse-like body but longer ears, like a donkey. Hinny's are typically smaller than horses, standing between 12 and 14 hands tall and weighing up to 800 pounds. They are known for their strength and hardiness, and can be used for a variety of tasks, such as riding and packing. Hinny's also have a reputation for being stubborn, much like their donkey parent. While they are similar to mules, which are the offspring of a female horse and a male donkey, Hinny's are less common and usually smaller in size. They are generally considered to be sterile, meaning they cannot produce offspring of their own, but can live long, healthy lives as working animals.
