Willow 13 - they are an old Chinese breed, and are extinct in the wild. These are in a private collection in Woburn Park, UK.

The Old Chinese name for them is "pinyin" meaning one of four....

"the nose of a cow but not a cow, the antlers of a deer but not a deer, the body of a donkey but not a donkey, tail of a horse but not a horse"

Mud bath -- I hear that's good for the complexion! Maybe good against fleas, too?
