A mule has won a dressage competition in the UK after being allowed to take part for the first time ever.
Donkeys and mules are a different species
Wallace the Great is half horse, half donkey, but owner Christie McLean has been campaigning for equality and a spot competing as a member of British Dressage, being a different species to a horse or pony and having different chromosones.
As a testamant to ''inclusion and diversity in dressage'' and a way of ''making the sport more accessible to all'', the organisation recently agreed to allow mules to compete.
Wallace the Great went on to beat eight full-horse competitors in his debut at a British Dressage Quest Club competition, and Chrisie was delighted.
As reported by the Metro, she said: ''Wallace won first in the intro class, out of nine. We'll be having a glass of bubbly this evening to celebrate the UK's first mule in dressage. ''He was competing against cobs, ponies and horses. There was a bit of everything and he blew them all out of the water.
''It is giving him a second chance to be somebody - it is about perseverance. I wanted to do this and make him happy. I just want the best for him.''
