As you learned from reading chapters 1 – 4, Taffy’s foaling was nowhere near anything ordinary. Most mares produce one egg, which results in one foal. They produce an egg every twenty-one days throughout the breeding season. If the egg is fertilized by the stallion’s sperm, the mare becomes pregnant. Sometimes a mare produces two eggs instead of just one. If both are fertilized, a twin pregnancy results. Twins are more common in Thoroughbred horse breeds. Quarter horse mares like Taffy rarely produce two eggs, but it’s possible. They are most likely to produce two eggs if they are not nursing a foal, have not had a foal the previous year, and are young, healthy, and at the peak of their fertile years. Taffy falls into that category. For most mammalsSAMPLE (and for people too), twins PAGES are not a problem. However, the mare is an exception. She is not designed to carry more than one foal at a time. Twins are sometimes carried to term and born healthy with no injury to either the foals or the mare, but this is the exception to the rule. Usually, mares that conceive twins lose one or both tiny embryos within the first few weeks after breeding. Some mares will carry twins for several months before losing them halfway through the pregnancy. If both foals survive until term, there is a good chance that the mare will have a difficult delivery that can end in the death of one, two, or all three horses. This explains why Andi was so horrified when she learned Taffy was trying to birth twins. She knew the risks, and she was afraid. When twins are born alive, as in Taffy’s case, one or both may be undersized and weak. Twin foals often need extra care, sometimes around the clock for the first couple of weeks. If the mare was injured during the delivery, she will also need care. Sometimes the afterbirth stays inside, which can cause a bad infection or even death for the mare. All in all, twin foals are no bargain. Andi would have been perfectly content with one healthy foal. By God’s grace and with the help of an experienced stockman (Chad), Taffy’s twins survived and eventually caught up from their shaky, uncertain beginning. 1- Thick as Thieves: Chapters 1 - 4 Folder Read “The Trouble with Twins”.
