Sorry you had to make the tough decision.

Our mare was found with twins at 18 days too. However, we pinched one. The vet said in 95% of the cases the mare retains the other embryo.

Of course, my mare was in the remaining 5% and lost both.

Luckily, it was early in the season and we could get her covered again.

She produced a Concerto filly for us this Spring......

It's always a tough decision. Best wishes to you and your mare.
