A Saturday ride in the carriage

This mule was the most feminine and refined four legged animal I've ever seen. She was so dainty and precise as she pulled this carriage in the Mule Days Parade in Dayton, Washington.

 

At the fairgrounds there were mostly mules but some donkeys which made me curious as to what the differences are:

 

*Donkeys are purebred

*Mules are partbred or hybrid

*Mules come from the breeding of a female horse with a male donkey (jack)

*For the most part Mules are sterile.
