Rare Twin Foals Are Born To Old Mare Who Gets Pregnant
Pregnancy and the day the kid is born are among the most trying and yet wonderful experiences a woman can have, as every single mother in the world will attest. Nothing feels more powerful than this moment, which is incredibly remarkable, especially given that a new generation of the family has just been born. The age at which a woman should become pregnant is the most significant factor to consider before becoming pregnant, among many others.
The same is true for horses; there are set age ranges for every species, and for a horse, this range is often between 6 and 15 years old since beyond that point, the fertility rate drops and there is much less possibility for a healthy pregnancy. However, the mare in the video below became pregnant at a later age, and guess what? She gave birth to not just one newborn foal but to two of them, making the situation even more dire and, at the same time, more of a success story of a miracle.
In contrast to humans, where the likelihood of fraternal twins is around 32 in 1,000, horses practically never have this potential. One happy American Paint Horse recently bucked the odds and gave birth to two of her own, despite the fact that only one in 10,000 horse pregnancies ends in twins! Woodcock Pocket and Charming Opal, a pair of twin foals who have never before been seen by any horse owner in the world, were born to 16-year-old Tiki.
This makes her a little too old to be a mother, but when it was time for her to give birth to her twins, it didn’t matter. The devoted Mason family, who first spotted the twins on an early ultrasound of their cherished horse, Tiki, is Tiki’s owner and caregiver.
Despite the fact that having multiples of a huge beast like this may sometimes lead to issues, her two foals were born in the best possible health and happiness. Despite all the difficulties that may have been anticipated in such a circumstance, I am overjoyed that Tiki was able to carry her pregnancy to term.
