Here, they are a zarzor for a male and zarzora for female. I believe that they tend to be smaller than mules (mare/donkey).

I had one of those years ago and she was quite tall for coming from a 15' mother. She was also a delight but I was boarding and couldn't keep her.

> It's a funny story actually. The stallion was bred by a very well known breeder here and sold to someone as a riding horse. Since this is Egypt, he was never gelded, but he injured his legs in a jumping accident and was left to recuperate at the stables of a rival breeder here. The owner was a friend of the second breeder, so the stallion had a place to stay and was well cared for when the owner was transferred back to the US. After a few years, the owner indicated that a good home should be found for the stallion as he wasn't really wanted by his host, and one of my neighbours was given a lovely Egyptian Arab stallion. He does trail rides and stands at stud for local breedings, produces lovely foals. Here's hoping.
