Donkeys are members of the horse family and have been domesticated by humans for thousands of years and artwork in Egypt depicts images of donkeys carrying loads for their Egyptian masters. It is estimated that there are over 40 million donkeys across the world... that's an awful lot of donkeys!
Donkeys and mules are not the same animal... although sometimes confused. A mule is the offspring of a male donkey (also known as a jack) and a female horse (mare).

Dartmoor Pony by HightonRidley at Zazzle
Ponies
A cute birthday card featuring a Dartmoor Pony yearling foal, kneeling and having a rest in the hot sunshine. These ponies roam free on Dartmoor, a national park in Devon, UK.In September/October they are rounded up in what's known as a drift, so they can be separated into herds and branded by the owning farmers.
