Usually this is true but not always. We've owned/bred both mules & horses for many decades. For 15 years we owned a 14.2 hand Morgan stallion who could stand next to a 5' fence & jump it flat footed like a mule. Our last foal by him was sired when he jumped the fence *again* (the hot wire on top wasn't hot for some reason). Trainers didn't believe us - the first time we left him with one, by the end of the week he'd jumped out of a stall over the dutch door w/o a scratch. Yes his foals jump, too
mules are really pretty!!

The mule has a very bad space befor the jump, but the mule is very cute abd talented !:D

i like this but the only thing is that he should run at least 3 meters before the jump, cause its not good for thier legs.

Mules have a different muscle structure than horses which allows them to be able to jump heights from a standstill where horses need a distance.

Mules aren't horses.
They jump from standstill.
Its the way they are formed in muscle and bone.

You can DEFINITELY see the horse in her, do you know if she's a hinny or a mule?
Because she looks more horse than donkey, but in the face she looks donkey.

hinnys tend to be more horsey in the head than mules. A horse body with donkey head typically means mule

undeniably the most uncommon thing I've ever seen a mule (or horse species) do. Too bad it wasn't from a direct stand still.
