| What do you get when you cross a donkey jack with a horse? (A mule). A horse stallion with a donkey jennet (a hinny). Aren't all hinnies female and mules male (no!) Are all mules sterile (for all practical purposes, yes). Aren't donkeys stubborn (nope!) They won't gallop... (wrong again). Where can you buy a Miniature Donkey? Are you interested in donkeys, mules or zebra hybrids? Or just want to learn more and help dispel some of the myths about longeared equines? If so, you've come to the right place. The American Donkey and Mule Society maintains informative websites for those interested in the longeared equines - the cousins of the more well known horse. From Miniature to Mammoth, Mule to Zorse, we have facts, photos, a catalog of literature, resources, and MUCH more. There is an EXTRAORDINARY amount of information on this site. Although we've tried to make the pages as easy as possible to see and read, you'll need to scroll down on some to get all of the information! The American Donkey and Mule Society, Est 1967.

The big End Of Year Registration Swamping! As with each November and December the mail
volume doubles! This year many are sending extra registrations as well with the changes to the
MDR Book. PLEASE read the changes to the MDR book and understand that closing the book
ONLY means that the way we register donkeys with Untraced Backgrounds is changing. You will
still be able to register ALL donkeys of ALL sizes as long as they meet the basic requirement.
This DOES mean though that we have nearly 2000 registrations in the office at this moment!
Turnaround time is on average eight (8) to twelve (12) weeks. If you must ask about any
certain animal PLEASE have the ENTIRE name of the animal on hand before enquiring. It slows
us down tremendously to have to stop and hunt for animals in any step of the process (from
incoming mail to computer entry to proofing to the mailout station), more so if we have a partial
or incorrect name. Thank you!!!
