Can a donkey and a horse live together?
Yes, donkeys and horses coexist well if introduced correctly and share adequate space.
Detailed Explanation
Donkeys and horses are compatible species that can share a pasture and stable. It is advisable to introduce them gradually to avoid initial hierarchy conflicts. Dietary differences should be considered: donkeys need more austere diets (less energetic hay) than horses, and can easily gain weight if they share rations. They coexist better when there is sufficient space and initial supervision. Some horses kept alone in stables greatly improve their well-being by sharing with a donkey as a stable companion.
