"Thoroughbreds and Warmbloods are notorious multiple ovulators and, thus, tend to conceive twins more frequently than other breeds. The percentage of twin pregnancies among Thoroughbreds is about 30%, depending on the mare’s history and age, while in Quarter Horses, for example, it’s only about 5%, says Tibary.
No matter the breed, double ovulations are more likely to occur in nonlactating mares (i.e., they don’t have foals at their sides) at the peak of breeding season. “A mare that has double-ovulated in one cycle has a 38% chance of double ovulation on the next cycle,” Tibary says. “I recall working with three mares (two Thoroughbreds and a Warmblood) that double-ovulated on more than 80% of their cycles.” He adds that the chances for double ovulation to result in twin pregnancies are highest in young mares when they are most fertile, which is from about age 6 to 8." When twins fix in the same horn, more than 80% of those pregnancies are either lost or they resolve naturally, the latter meaning that “the larger one will grow and undermine the other one, and the smaller, weaker one will die,” says Samper. By Day 30 to 35 this process will have finished.
