A mule has a donkey father and a horse mother. The other way around produces a hinny.
I think that thoroughbreds are the most widly crossed breed, although I think that htey have arabian blood back somewhere in the pedigree. During hte industrial revolution is was shires and other huge breeds that were crosses to provide horses capable of providing the horsepower needed. (pun intended)
You might also see paint or appaloosa crosses in sport horses, as breeders try to add a bit of color to make their stock unique.
