After Pregnant Horse Gives Birth To Foal, Owners Are Shocked By Her Uncommon Afterbirth

Jenni Benson of the Saratoga Stud horse farm in South Africa discovered an unusual surprise when one of her pregnant horses finally delivered. She gave birth to not one, but two foals.
She told the story from the beginning to end in a Youtube video. She writes that her horse Treliver D'Aquitaine (aka Daisy) was seven days overdue when she and two helpers named Guy and William decided to check on her in the stable. Daisy shortly delivered a colt named Don Quixote, and Jenni and her helpers happily doted on him and waited for him to learn to stand.

It was then when Jenni noticed that Daisy was going to have another baby! Jenni felt inside her and felt a pair of feet while Daisy went into labor contractions again. The little foal was breeched with its legs coming out first, but thankfully everything ended up well and the little baby came into the world also wanting to stand.
The second little horse was christened "Duet." Jenni writes in her Youtube video that the odds of having healthy twins are very low and that having them is a "miracle." But that now Daisy is a very proud mother of her two foals, continuing the tradition of the Saratoga Stud horse farm.
