Yes, it is called a mule, (*** or jackass). The resulting hybrid is usually sterile.

Yeah, that's how you get a mule, but it has to be done a certain way.
It usually has to be a female horse and a male donkey. Most horses are larger than donkeys, so if a donkey was carrying a horse's offspring, then the donkey would most likely die during pregnancy or delivery because the fetus would be much to big for the womb/birth canal.
I guess it would be possible with a large donkey and a small horse, too.

Hi,
Yes, a horse and a donkey can breed:
A mule is a cross between a male donkey (called a jack or jackass) and a female horse (called a mare). Mules are usually sterile.
A hinny is a cross between a male horse (called a stallion) and a female donkey (called a jenny). Hinnies are also usually sterile.

Yes. Interestingly, the offspring of a male donkey and female horse is a mule while the offspring of a female donkey and a male horse is a hinny. The resulting offspring are typically incapable of reproduction.

Yes, they are called Mules. Mules are beasts of burden that cannot reproduce. They were breed for their sure footed capabilities, have tremendous strength for their size.

a mule is what you get when you breed the two species. A mule is a sterile animal.
