  • 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.

  • The Effect on Performance in Descendents of New Forest Pony Stallions, That Have the Clc-1 Gene Mutations That Leads to Congenit
    The effect on performance in sports in descendents of CLCN1 gene mutation carrier New Forest pony stallions Authors: D.M. Dickhoff; I.D. Wijnberg Abstract Aim of the study: To determine if ponies descending from a CLCN1 gene mutation carrier stallion perform better in sports, compared to ponies that do not descent from a CLCN1 gene mutation carrier stallion. Study design: Data analysis of 11.414 New Forest ponies, in which the relationship between the descent of the ponies and their sport performance are analyzed. Methods: Ponies were divided in jumping, dressage and eventing categories. They were listed categorically from the lowest category to the highest and descendents from mutation carrier stallions were marked. Statistical analysis with logistic regression between the sport categories and within the categories has been performed using SPSS version 19. Significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Ponies descending from a mutation carrying stallion are significantly better performing in jumping. The odds of finding a descent in the highest jumping category is 7.6 compared to the lowest. In dressage, descendents from a gene mutation carrier stallion are performing significantly better, with an odds of 4.1 for performing in the highest category. In eventing, the odds of finding a descendent from a mutation carrying stallion in the highest category is 2.9 compared to the lowest. Conclusion and clinical relevance: Ponies that are descendants of a mutation carrying stallion are performing significantly better in jumping, dressage and eventing. This conclusion might lead to breeding programs which includes stallions who carry this mutation, aiming to breed better performing ponies in equine sports, which is in contrast of the aim of the Studbook to eradicate the mutation.

  • 2020 Autumn Stallion Inspection RESULTS with Comment
    New Forest Pony Breeding and Cattle Society 2020 Autumn Stallion Inspection As with most 2020 events, the planned April inspection had to be cancelled, but with Covid-19 restrictions easing into the autumn, all owners on the April list were invited to what was necessarily a ‘behind closed doors’ inspection held with strict adherence to the government’s current Covid-19 regulations. With most owners taking up the offer, it was a busy morning, on a lovely sunny day. The top colt, by a good margin, was Mallards Wood Saint John, bred by Robert Maton. It was most pleasing that two colts who had come through the Futurity Scheme, Limekiln Shamrock and Mogshade Quarryman, made the top five, with Shamrock being the top Forest-bred colt. All the approved colts must now complete the vetting and DNA and PSSM1 testing procedures before they are fully licensed. The top five colts were: Mallards Wood Saint John (Y59/097) Miss Victoria Edwards-Sonnex Sire: Applewitch Pure Magic (S34/105) Dam: Mallards Wood Goddess (M43/428) Nutschullyng Saint Raphael (Y60/093) Mrs Wendy Gover Fromm Sire: Brookshill Mustang (S46/096) Dam: Glamorous Gift (M52/273) Limekiln Shamrock (Y60/256) Mr Mike Eccles Sire: Cameron Luck of The Irish (S56/070) Dam: Limekiln Fudge (M46/654) Mogshade Quarryman (Y60/063) Mrs Jehanna Stride Sire: Rushmoor Dalesman (S57/150) Dam: Cuffnells Fun Fair (M49/542) Haywards Stormstruck (Y60/114) Mr P & Mrs A Pidgley Sire: Haywards Impressionist (S50/561) Dam: Wraggletaggle Gypsy (M42/420) The following colts were also approved: Berrywood Wind Dancer

  • Tail Docking in Horses: a Review of the Issues
    Animal (2007), 1:8, pp 1167–1178 & The Animal Consortium 2007 animal doi: 10.1017/S1751731107000420 Tail docking in horses: a review of the issues - D. Lefebvre1 , D. Lips2,F.O.O¨ dberg4 and J. M. Giffroy3 1Animal Welfare Counci-Ministry of Social Affair, Food Chain Security and Environment-DG4 (CITES and Animal Welfare), 40 Place Victor Horta, 1060 Bruxelles, Belgium; 2Centre for Science, Technology and Ethics-Kasteelpark Arenberg 30, 3001 Leuven, Belgium; 3Department of Anatomy and Ethology of Domestic Animals, Faculties of Namur, 6 rue Muzet, 5000 Namur, Belgium; 4Department of Animal Nutrition, Genetics and Ethology, Ghent University, Heidestraat 19, 9820 Merelbeke, Belgium (Received 30 November 2006; Accepted 24 May 2007) Routinely performed painful procedures are of increasing interest and, in 2001 (Royal Order, May 17), Belgium prohibited docking in several vertebrates including horses. In 2004, opponents to this decision submitted a Bill (Doc51 0969/001) to Parliament, intending to obtain derogation for Belgian draught horses, which were traditionally docked. The Animal Welfare Council of Belgium, an official body advising the Minister of Public Health, was asked to evaluate this complex question, including biological, ethical and socio-economic aspects, on the basis of the available peer-reviewed studies. In this context, this study reviews legal aspects (overview of the European legislation), zootechnic aspects (uses of the Belgian draught horse) and biological aspects (pain potentially related to docking; horses’ welfare linked to insect harassment and hygiene, communication and reproduction) of tail docking in draught horses. We conclude that (1) there is no benefit for horses in tail docking, including Belgian draught horses, (2) potential advantages of docking are essentially in favour of humans and these advantages could be scrupulously re-evaluated, taking into account practices of other countries.
