The Poitevin mule is created by the combination of a Poitevin heavy horse mare and a Baudet de Poitou jackass. The result is a very large valuable mule, known for its exceptional strength and versatility. These mules were used in difficult terrain for agricultural work when the heavy horse was not practical. The Poitevin quickly gained popularity in Europe and the United States. They were exported to south France, Turkey, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Italy, and even Russia.
