Mules and hinnies at play
It's playtime for the mules and hinnies living here at Il Rifugio.
All were rescued from starvation from our biggest rescue to date in Colleferro, except for Marco, the beautiful mule you can see wearing a green collar.
Marco comes from France and is the only mule you can adopt.
For more information on adopting Marco, or one of our donkeys, please visit the adopt a donkey section of our website.

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.
In the meantime, enjoy this wonderful clip of our mules and hinnies!
