Horaffe

The Mongolians are probably best known for their founder Genghis Khan, however there’s now a new kid on the block that may well supersede him as Mongolia’s most famous ever inhabitant. The Horaffe, or should that be Girorse, has seen the first ever successful cross-breeding of a Giraffe and a horse. The actual conception has been shrouded in secrecy; so it’s not clear whether it’s the offspring off a mare and male giraffe, or female giraffe and stallion. Here at Dogwood we’d like to think that it’s a female giraffe as try as we might we can’t get round the fact that giraffe’s always look feminine, with their long legs and eyelashes et al. You can see that the Horaffe has taken attributes from both species, the ears, legs and partial colorings of a Giraffe and the body and head of a horse. The question is will anyone dare ride it? Already standing at an impressive height, this foal (or goal) is going to need some seriously big horse tack and horse rugs…let alone a ladder so it can be mounted! We can’t help be a bit skeptical about this, but if they can cross a zebra with a horse, then why not! We’ll leave it for you to decide, what do you think…?
