gabla @george and Bob @baabaamason --Having grown up on a farm when my dad had 2 mules I find donkeys and mules very interesting. I am reading a fascinating books "In Deep" by Maxine Kumin in which she goes to great lengths in describing the history of mules and donkeys and how there were various crosses between horses and mules. Royal Gift was a donkey that was gifted to George Washington in 1785 by Charles III, the King of Spain.He proceeded to aquire more donkeys through breeding procedure. Thomas Jefferson also had donkeys.
