discrimination, definitely, but not racial, because mule's are an un-natural by blow of cross species fertilisation, and almost unheard of to reproduce by themselves.

Can you imagine at badminton the cry "giddyup mule!" echoing across the lawns? Heaven forfend.

Wouldn't that be amusing.
I bet a good lawyer could arrange a wild card for Wallace. Get the press on their side, public opinion and all that.

Is it because he's Irish?

Also, Wallace the Great, that has to be the greatest name for a mule ever, although I think it might be better to call his father great. :wink:

Isn't this the film Babe but with a mule not a pig?

I did notice that ""When British Dressage said the rule book only refers to horses and ponies within its affiliated criteria" - I do wonder if it actually refers to horses and ponies in the rule book or, like Babe, it doesn't actually say only horses and ponies.

What if Wallace identifies as a pony

"Giddyup horse" would be equally funny.

It was in Saturday's Telegraph ............ as I posted after the OP - yet another of my posts disappeared.
