Mama horse gives birth to rare twins, and the footage captured is magical

This is an incredible story of a very lucky momma and two beautiful babies. At first glance, they look like a normal mom and two foals (especially if you don't know much about horses). In the video below, you realize they are adorable draft horses with shining black coats.
They look happy and healthy, don't they? Well, you could say it's a miracle they ended up that way. These little guys are twins, and twin foals are extremely rare.

More accurately, twin foals of a healthy weight are extremely rare. According to The Horse, twin foals are difficult for the mother to carry, and many problems can happen with twins. Most commonly, one of the babies is spontaneously aborted within the first six months.
If that doesn't happen, typically either it's a late-term abortion, which poses serious risks for the mother, or both foals are born at the combined weight of one foal, meaning they're extremely underweight and unhealthy.
You see how lucky these youngsters are? They were born with no complications, healthy weight, and the joy of being with their mom. As Equinews says, this is the exception--and we're so happy to see these fiesty foals bounding around in the meadow!
Check out this adorable video to see them in action, and share it with your family and friends to see a true miracle.
