This is a 2009 AQHA bay with dun factor filly aka Stitch. This is another beautiful filly by WR Dual Twist. Stitch is a twin born healthy and beautiful. She is a good cutting or reining prospect and broodmare prospect. This is the smaller of the twins. I am not sure at this point if she will stay smaller than the other one because they are both growing real good and filling out well. Her bloodlines include Commander King, Mister Dual Pep, Peponita, Miss Dual Doc, Peppy San Badger, and many more greats!! SOLD! THANKS MARISSA AND DAVID JOHNSON IN FLORESVILLE, TX! About the twins: Both are fillies and one is dun and the other is Black. They were born on 3/29/09. We named them Lilo and Stitch. This is odd that the momma carried twins because we had the mare ultra sounded just like you are supposed to at about 18 days after being bred. Only evidence of 1 baby was there and if there were twins they should have been real noticeable. Anyway, some how 1 must have been in hiding. :) Other wise we would have had 1 of them pinched off at that time. Well, big surprise to us, 2 babies came out and they are so cute!! Both are extremely healthy and happy and alive and well today!! They are so funny when they run and play! A lot of times they drink from momma together and then lay together often on top of each other. I have done a lot of research on twins since all this and it is extremely rare that they are born alive and live and amazingly these were carried full term! Wow! On top of that, there is not a thing in the world wrong with them!! :) The odds have been against them, but it hasn't slowed them down a bit!! We are supplementing the mare to make sure they get all of the nutrition they need and so far the babies have not needed any supplementing. They are a tad bit small compared to this mare's other foals in the past, but not too bad. One is smaller than the other. Stitch is the dun filly that is smaller than Lilo, the black one. This couldn't have happened to a better mare. She is so good with them and good with letting us play with them and doesn't mind all of the visitors and news people that have come over to see them. I asked my vet about the fertility and he said that she is no different than any other mare. She should be just as fertile as any other mare. She has no better chance at producing twins than any other mare unlike cattle.
Here are pics of the twins with their momma. These pics were taken 4/10/09: Stitch is the one on the right:
