A horse of course? Fail. The New York Post miscaptioned the above animal as a horse. But it's a mule.

The New York Post misidentified a mule as a horse in a June 10 photo caption.  The photo is credited to AFP/Getty Images.

Mules are a mix of a horse and a donkey. We are writing to the Post for a correction and will update with any response.
