In the horse breeding industry, the term "half-brother" or "half-sister" only describes horses which have the same dam, but different sires. [6] Horses with the same sire but different dams are simply said to be "by the same sire", and no sibling relationship is implied. [7] "Full" (or "own") siblings have both the same dam and the same sire.
A zebroid is the offspring of any cross between a zebra and any other equine to create a hybrid.In most cases, the sire is a zebra stallion but not every time. The offspring of a donkey sire and zebra dam, called a donkra, and the offspring of a horse sire and a zebra dam, called a hebra, do exist, but are rare and are usually sterile.
The mule is a domestic equine hybrid between a donkey and a horse.It is the offspring of a male donkey (a jack) and a female horse (a mare). [1] [2] The horse and the donkey are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes; of the two possible first-generation hybrids between them, the mule is easier to obtain and more common than the hinny, which is the offspring of a male horse ...

The cost of equine cloning varies between €200,000 [32] and €300,000, [33] depending on the source. In 2010, clones intended for sporting competitions represented just 22% of operations. [34] Cloning is therefore mainly carried out in Europe for the purpose of breeding high-performance horses. A gelding can be copied to ensure its progeny. [35]
