A couple from Texas was very surprised after finding out that their mare named Sophie was pregnant and carrying twins. It is very unlikely for a horse to successfully carry a full-term twins pregnancy but Sophie beat all the odds and on May 11, 2017, she gave birth to two adorable foals, a male and female.
Horse twins only occur 1 in every 10,000 so you can imagine how shocked and happy the couple was.
The Tuckers knew their horse was pregnant but they didn’t think there would be two babies.
They decided to name the duo Bonnie and Clyde because they thought it suited them better.
Although they were born perfectly normal, they still had to undergo veterinary care to make sure that they remained healthy as both required a lot of care after birth.
Things seemed a little more difficult for Clyde, but the couple was confident that the precious foals will make it through.
Now, almost 3 years later we found out that the amazing twins are very healthy and living their best life.
Their new owner, a woman named Andrea Snapp said that Bonnie is still a playful filly and she can tell she’s going to make a great barrel or pole horse in the future!
“I’ve sat with him while he’s laying down more times than I can count, he loves laying his head in your lap while he’s napping. He also loves playing with my three-year-old gelding. Every time I’d turn them out together they’d take turns chasing the other.”-said Andrea.
We are so happy for them and wish them the best of luck with their new owner!
