How cute are these 2 foals they done so well surviving this is extremely rare that's why we scan at 14 days to make sure the mare as not twinned they never normally survive if they carry to full term

How cute are these two little twin foals Rasmus and Rosi Warder Ark Zoo at Warder, Germany

It is extremely rare for horses to conceive twins let alone carry them full term, approximately a 1 in 10,000 chance. Horses can give birth to twins but the mortality rate is high for one or both twins during birth, gestation or shortly after birth. It is best breeding practice to not allow a twin pregnancy to progress to full term.

A horse’s uterus is not designed to carry two foetuses, due to the lack of room for the placenta and the possible complications relating to the birth canal in larger animals such as horses and cattle. Unlike animals such as sheep and goats where twins are quite a common occurrence. A mare carrying twins has the increased risk of complications and carry a much higher risk for both the mare and the foals. You have the increased stress of a double labour, putting extra strain on the mare, together with the possibilities of birthing difficulties, this all heightens the risk to the mare during labour and in extreme cases can lead to death.
