At Banditas Wild Horse Promise, a rescue organization nestled in Livermore, Colorado, something extraordinary was unfolding.
This nonprofit, dedicated to saving wild mustangs from dangerous situations, had noticed that one of their cherished mares, named Resurrection, was showing clear signs of pregnancy.
But what they didn’t know was that this pregnancy was far from ordinary.
In fact, it was going to lead to a rare event, one that only happens in about 1 in 10,000 equine births.
As Resurrection’s due date approached, the team kept a close eye on her, aware of the complications that can sometimes accompany equine pregnancies.
With horses, there’s always a degree of uncertainty, and the team was cautiously optimistic.
They monitored Resurrection day and night, ready to provide help if necessary.
Though everything seemed to be progressing normally, the team had no idea they were about to witness something incredibly rare, an event that would leave them stunned.
One morning, when Resurrection didn’t show up for her regular meal with the other horses, the team’s instincts kicked in.
It was unusual for her to miss breakfast, and they suspected that the big moment had arrived.
With a mix of excitement and nerves, they rushed out to the pasture, fully expecting to meet the newest addition to their rescue family.
However, what they found was beyond anything they could have imagined.
Instead of one foal, the rescue team was greeted by a huge surprise: Resurrection had given birth to twin colts!
The team could hardly believe their eyes.
Twin births in horses are incredibly rare, and even rarer is the survival of both twins.
The moment was surreal – two tiny colts, both alive and kicking, stood beside their mother.
The team was overwhelmed with disbelief and awe at what had just unfolded right before their eyes.
The rarity of horse twins is no small thing.
Equine pregnancies involving twins often lead to complications, and it’s not uncommon for one or both foals to be lost.
The fact that both colts were born alive and seemingly healthy was nothing short of miraculous.
While the team was overjoyed, they knew the hard work had only just begun.
The first two weeks would be crucial for the twins’ survival, as this is often the most vulnerable period for newborn foals, especially when they’re twins.
The rescue team wasted no time in jumping into action.
They knew that Resurrection, being a first-time mother to twins, would need extra help.
Initially, she seemed confused by the fact that she had two babies to care for.
The team conducted night checks every three hours and made sure Resurrection bonded with both foals, gently guiding her to care for each of them equally.
In the days that followed, the twins, who were eventually named Red and Blue, began to show promising signs of health.
One is a curious and bold little colt, often trotting up to the caretakers with a fearless attitude.
But the other is a bit more reserved, preferring to stay close to Resurrection, observing the world from a safe distance.
Both colts had their own unique personalities, and their progress brought hope to the entire team.
The story of Resurrection and her twin foals quickly captured the hearts of everyone following Banditas Wild Horse Promise.
A viewer said, “Those twinnies are adorable!! There are no better people on the planet than those who rescue animals. ❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰”
Another commented, “Beautiful mare and foals. Wishing them all the best. Great job rescuers.”
The support and love poured in from all directions, and the team felt encouraged by the outpouring of positive messages.
It was a reminder of how special this rescue truly was.
