Pregnant horse misses breakfast leaving rescuers to discover she had a 1 in 10,000 birth



The team could hardly believe their eyes.

Twin births in horses are incredibly rare, and even rarer is the survival of both twins.

The moment was surreal – two tiny colts, both alive and kicking, stood beside their mother.

The team was overwhelmed with disbelief and awe at what had just unfolded right before their eyes.



The rarity of horse twins is no small thing.



 

Equine pregnancies involving twins often lead to complications, and it’s not uncommon for one or both foals to be lost.

The fact that both colts were born alive and seemingly healthy was nothing short of miraculous.



While the team was overjoyed, they knew the hard work had only just begun.

The first two weeks would be crucial for the twins’ survival, as this is often the most vulnerable period for newborn foals, especially when they’re twins.



The rescue team wasted no time in jumping into action.

They knew that Resurrection, being a first-time mother to twins, would need extra help.

Initially, she seemed confused by the fact that she had two babies to care for.

The team conducted night checks every three hours and made sure Resurrection bonded with both foals, gently guiding her to care for each of them equally.
