Zébrule
The zébrule is an animal resulting from the reproduction of a Zèbre and a mare (of which the female hybrids are called mule S, from where its French name). It is also often called zorse (name drawn from English streaked and horse ). It is a zébroïde , concept gathering any animal Hybride having like ancestor a zebra. It has the morphology of the horse rather, but carries stripes on most of the body. It can be male or female, but always sterile.
First passion for the zébrule date completion of the 19th century. Some saw in this mongrel an auxiliary for the army. It is indeed stronger and more intelligent than the mule, and once drawn up, of an easier control. Photography opposite could be taken in a stockbreeder of Hamburg, but the English employed zébrules in their Indian regiments.
More recently, and especially with the the United States, the zébrule became an animal of circus or approval. Rapid and good jumper, it is however not very easy to go up because the skin of its back is loose and the saddle turns easily.
The term of zébrule, proposed long time by the scientists, is employed little by the journalists who took again the term of zorse , recently forged by American stockbreeders . Name is however maintained by the Official journal of the European Communities.
The most known zébrule currently is a female of the name of Stormy; she was educated by her owner Pat Parelli and the Australian adjuster Andy Booth, installed with the Stud farm of Supposed in Yvelines (France).
