  • A DISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSIS of RURAL COLORADO ENGLISH By
    A DISTRIBUTIONAL ANALYSIS OF RURAL COLORADO ENGLISH by LAMONT D. ANTIEAU (Under the Direction of William A. Kretzschmar, Jr.) ABSTRACT This dissertation describes a study in linguistic geography conducted in Colorado using the methodology of the Linguistic Atlas of the Western States. As such, the goals of this dissertation are threefold: 1) to provide a description of Colorado English with respect to select lexical, phonetic, and syntactic features; 2) to compare the results of work in Colorado with previous work conducted in the eastern states as well as in Colorado and other western states; and 3) to use inferential statistics to show correlation between the distribution of specific linguistic variants and the social characteristics of those informants who use these variants. The major findings of this study include the observation that linguistic variants are distributed according to a power law, that numerous variants have statistically significant social correlates at all levels of the grammar, and that the relative effect of social variables differ at each linguistic level.

  • Mules and Hinnies Factsheet
    FACTSHEET: OWNERS MULES AND HINNIES Mules and hinnies are similar. They are both a cross between a horse and a donkey, with unique characteristics that make them special. Because they are so similar, the terms ‘mule’ and ‘hinny’ are used interchangeably, with hinnies often being referred to as mules. KEY FACTS ABOUT MULES AND HINNIES: Mule: The result of a donkey stallion mating with a female horse. Mules tend to have the head of a donkey and extremities of a horse. Hinny: The result of a horse stallion mating with a female donkey. Hinnies are less common than mules and there might be subtle differences in appearance. Size: Varies greatly depending on the stallion and mare. Ranging from 91-172 cm. Health: Hardy and tough. They often have good immune systems. Strength: Extremely strong. They pull heavy loads and carry much heavier weights than donkeys or horses of a similar size. Behaviour: Intelligent and sensitive. They can have unpredictable reactions. Appearance: Ears smaller than a donkey’s, the same shape as a horse’s. The mane and tail of a hinny is usually similar to a horse. Vocalisation: A mixture of a donkey’s ‘bray’ and a horse’s ‘whinny’. Sex: Male is a ‘horse mule’ (also known as a ‘john’ or ‘jack’). Female is a ‘mare mule’ (also known as a ‘molly’). Young: A ‘colt’ (male) or ‘filly’ (female). What is hybrid vigour? Hybrid = a crossbreed Vigour = hardiness or resilience • ‘Interbreeding’ (crossbreeding) can remove weaker characteristics and instead pass on desirable inherited traits. This is ‘hybrid vigour’, a term often associated with mules and hinnies.

  • Horse + Donkey = Mule by Morris Helmig & Sybil E. Sewell a Mule
    Horse + Donkey = Mule by Morris Helmig & Sybil E. Sewell A mule combines the traits of its horse dam and donkey sire to create a new animal with its own distinctive characteristics. Here are the notable differences between horses, donkeys, and mules. Head—A donkey's head is larger than that of a horse, as is evidenced by its need for a bridle with a larger browband than is required for a horse or pony of comparable size. Donkey owners like to point out that this characteristic indicates a larger brain capacity, and therefore greater intelligence. The head of a mule or hinny is larger than the head of a horse of comparable size. Ears—A donkey's ears are longer than those of the horse and have an excellent blood supply, which is a desert adaptation for cooling the body. A mule's ears are inherited from the donkey, but are not quite as long as the donkey's. A hinny's ears are shorter than those of a donkey, but are much wider. Eyes—A donkey's eyes are larger in proportion to the head than those of a horse. Donkeys and mules have heavier eye sockets set farther out on the side of the head, resulting in a wider field of vision than the horse has. The horse's eye sockets are round, the donkey's are D-shaped. The mule's eye sockets are somewhat D-shaped, as seen in male (horse) mules with heavy brow ridges. Tail—The donkey has a cow-like tail covered by short coarse body hair, except for a tuft at the end.

  • Mules and Hinnies Mules Are Intelligent and Sensitive
    MULES AND HINNIES MULES ARE INTELLIGENT AND SENSITIVE A mule is the result of breeding between a female horse and a male donkey. A mule is said to have the body of the horse with extremities of a donkey. Mules have smaller ears than their donkey fathers but larger, although the same shape, as their horse mothers. Their manes and tails are not as thick as that of a horse. If they try to bray it usually starts out with a horse’s whinny and ends with a donkey’s distinctive bray. Mules can range in height from less than 36 inches up to 17 hands, depending on the size of the mare and stallion used. In Britain larger mules are less common than in the USA where they have been used as draft and riding animals since America was colonised. These larger mules from North America were extremely popular with the British army and were used in both World Wars and during campaigns in India and Asia. MALE MULE The correct name for a male mule is a Horse Mule, but they are sometimes referred to as a John or Jack Mule. FEMALE MULE The correct name for a female mule is a Mare Mule, sometimes females are informally called Molly Mules. Mule Colt or Mule Filly refers to a mule that is less than 3 years of age. HINNIES A hinny is the result of breeding between a female donkey and a male horse. A hinny is said to have the body of a donkey and the extremities of a horse.

  • Comparing the Physiological and Biochemical Parameters of Mules and Hinnies to Horses and Donkeys
    Comparing the physiological and biochemical parameters of mules and hinnies to horses and donkeys Amy K. McLean [North Carolina State University] Figure 1. Mules and hinnies comparing the commonalities and differences of these hybrids to their parents the donkey and horse. One of the most challenging things to do is distinguish a hinny from a mule based only on its appearance. Which is the mule and which is the hinny in this figure? Abstract: Mules and hinnies are hybrid offspring from donkeys (Equus asinus) and horses (Equus caballus). Little scientific information is known regarding mules and even less is known about hinnies the reciprocal cross. There have only been a few studies that have attempted to define commonalities and differences of these hybrids especially in terms of comparing and contrasting them to their sires and dams (donkeys and horses). This presentation will take a closer look at hinnies and mules from around the world and how they are used today as well as comparing both physiological and biochemical parameters of these unique creatures while addressing many of the fallacies and myths commonly associated with such equids with special attention being paid to hinnies. Recent studies conducted by the author and colleagues on comparing physiological, haematological, and biochemical parameters of both hinnies and mules from several countries will be shared in this review. In addition, interviews from both hinny and mule owners and breeders from Mexico, Colombia, US, Spain and Portugal will also be included in the presentation for a more comprehensive understanding of behaviour and training and how hinnies and mules are used today (Figure 1).

  • A Donkey Is Not a Horse: the Differences from a Practical Veterinary Standpoint
    A Donkey is Not a Horse: The Differences From a Practical Veterinary Standpoint Stephen R. Purdy, D.V.M. Objectives of the Presentation: • To discuss the practical differences between donkeys and horses. • To discuss donkey and mule terminology, genetic makeup, anatomic differences, and donkey behavior. Terminology associated with donkeys and mules: • Donkey- worldwide common name for the ass family – Jack, Jack Ass, or Jackass- an intact male of the ass family – Jennet, Jenny- the female of the ass family. – Burro- the smaller member of the ass family, usually of Mexican or Spanish descent. Usually gray in color and commonly thought of as feral asses. – Donkey Gelding, or Gelded Jack- castrated male of the ass family Hybrid Crosses: • Hinny- the hybrid cross resulting from breeding a stallion to a jenny. – Mare Hinny- a female hinny. – Horse Hinny- a male hinny. • Mule- the hybrid cross resulting from breeding a mare to a jack – Mare Mule- female mule, also referred to as a Molly Mule. – Horse Mule- male mule, often referred to as a John Mule. – Mule Mare- a mare used to raise mules. Donkey Sizes: • Miniature Donkey- member of the donkey family that stands at 36 inches or less at the withers at maturity. • Standard Donkey- between 36 and 54 inches at the withers at maturity. • Mammoth Donkey- greater than 54 inches at the withers at maturity. • Jack Stock- indicative of multiple animals of mammoth size regardless of sex; similar to the term cattle for cows. Genetic Makeup: • Domestic horses- 64 chromosomes • Domestic ass- 62 chromosomes • Mule- female horse bred to a male ass- 63 chromosomes • Hinny- male horse bred to a female ass- 63 chromosomes also • Both crosses are considered sterile even though there are documented cases of fertility in the female mule (Mare Mule or Molly Mule).

Still, their welfare varies greatly because of several factors. These hybrids have anatomy, health, nutritional, and behavioral particularities that are distinct from those of donkeys or horses. Their behavior can pose challenges to providing routine care and treatment during times of disease. Abusive treatment can result from those who have little understanding of learning theory or body language. Hence, an overview of studies and field observations can offer solutions for welfare enhancement. According to literature, participatory surveys and behavioral assessments across several countries, mule owners and handlers find it easier to interact with their animal as compared to allowing a stranger to do so.
