Field Hinny
These Hinny-like Rahi, unlike Rock Mules, are a result of a male Smith Horse and a female Mineral Donkey, whereas Rock Mules are a result of a male Mineral Donkey and a female Smith Horse.
Field Hinnies were created during the Trade Frenzy (will evaluate later, just think of the Gold Rush but with Matoran), when Po- and Le-Matoran traders and breeders were curious to see what could come out of a male Horse and a female Donkey, if not a Mule. It resulted in a slightly shorter and fuzzier equine hybrid. Like a Rock Mule, it still had the combined strength of a Donkey and Horse.
Field Hinnies are known for actually being easy-going unlike their stubborn Mule counterparts. Matoran believe this is caused by Field Hinnies inheriting their fathers’ Horse genes in terms of personality and temperament. They also inherited the ability to vary in fur patterns like Horses (while they also vary in color like both a Horse and a Donkey).
Field Hinnies originated in Le-Matoran farms, when Po-Matoran traders asked Le-Matoran to see what would come out of a male Horse and a female Donkey. After the discovery of Field Hinnies, they became popular, becoming of use by Le-, Po-, and Onu-Matoran during the rest of the Trade Frenzy Era.
(in case you’re wondering why these pictures seem familiar, it’s because they’re the old pictures of the Rock Mule, but after my discovery of Hinnies, I realized these pictures looked more like Hinnies, and I since then replace the Mule pictures for new ones)
