keep your feet still Geordie Hinney !your still with us I see. of course it is among others . my late son had pony & because of its attatude it was called Hinney,but on cross country he was an ace sure he would of won the G Nat. Frank
According to the Oxford Dictionary (Tenth Edition) hinny1 · n. (pl. hinnies) the offspring of a female donkey and a male horse. Compare with mule1. – ORIGIN C17: via L. from Gk hinnos.
Come to think of it Denis - That suits You! .......Sorry Delboy370 I take it all back!
A mule is an animal With dirt on his face His feet Are a terrible disgrace He's got no manners When he eats his food He's fat and lazy And extremely rude So if you don't Give a feather or a dude You may grow up To be a mule!
Just something I seem to remember of a song in the good old days! ------- Don
We've got lots of Heinies over here,but a Jenet,sounds like an under size Jenny Wren!And small Spanish horses,are we not back to the Mule? -------- Don
JENNET (female donkey or ass.) ORIGIN C17 (denoting a female mammal or bird): familiar form of the given name Janet, used as a feminine prefix and in names of machines (cf. jack).
SO THAT'S WHERE THE NAME 'JACKASS' CAME FROM - a stupid person!
There is a very expensive life-size Bronze Statue in Wolverhampton which is almost identical to the one above. It was made (cast) by a well known artist and commissioned by the Mayor and Council. As is usually the case in these matters neither the Mayor nor the Council or artist knew anything about horses, or as Don would put it heinies. It was only after the commissioning ceremony did they realise their mistake! The horse walks with both left feet forwards and both right feet backwards! Next time I'm in Wolverhampton I'll take a picture of it and post it here!
Just glad I didn't join the Cavalry from Wolverhampton!

A mule is an animal
ReplyDeleteWith dirt on his face
His feet
Are a terrible disgrace
He's got no manners
When he eats his food
He's fat and lazy
And extremely rude
So if you don't
Give a feather or a dude
You may grow up
To be a mule!
Just something I seem to remember of a song in the good old days!
