A pregnant horse had the whole barn buzzing over her exceptionally large baby bump. But when it came time to deliver, the horse’s massive belly yielded a far greater surprise than anyone anticipated – she birthed not just one foal, but a rare set of twin colts
In the lead-up to her due date, all eyes focused on the broodmare’s ginormous midsection, swollen to such immense proportions it seemed impossible she could only be carrying a single foal.
Yet when her labor began, the sheer size of her belly was explained as not just one, but two leggy foals emerged in quick succession! The phenomenon of equine twins is exceedingly rare, occurring only in about 1% of horse pregnancies.
Both male foals were reportedly strong and healthy despite sharing cramped quarters. Overjoyed with their windfall, the farm named the twins Rhythm and Blues as a fitting tribute to the doubly special delivery.
This story just goes to show one should never underestimate a pregnant horse’s belly. While it may seem improbably huge, sometimes the cause is not one but two bundles of horsey joy!
