I recently read an article called, “Pony gives birth to twins, overcoming odds of 10,000-to-1” on a British website, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-457179/Pony-gives-birth-twins-overcoming-odds-10-000-1.html. This article is explaining that a pony in the UK gave birth to twins. The 22 year old New Forest Pony surprised experts when she gave birth to the twins because the chance of them surviving are so small. Twin ponies usually don’t survive because the mother’s body simply, cannot handle it. Even the statistics are low according to experts, the chance of a mare giving birth to healthy twins are around 1 in 10,000. The best part is that the twins are one hundred percent healthy and running around like normal ponies. The ponies and it’s mother definitely defeated some odds in this case.
