Can a horse have quadruplets

Answer 1

It is possible, but the odds of all three surviving and/or being in good health are next to nothing.

As the person above me said, it is possible for a mare to give birth to triplet foals. However, the odds of just twin foals being born is 10,000 to 1, so I imagine the chances of healthy foal triplets is slim to none. If it did happen, it'd be a rare occurrence. You see, a mare's uterus can naturally only support one foal in an eleven month gestation period. Usually, when a horse owner has an ultrasound on their mare they'll ask to abort the fetuses, leaving only one to be born in order to save their mare and one of the fetuses. My advice, if you think your horse is having triplets is to get an ultrasound, and then make your own decision of what to do.

The chances of a horse having triplets is very slim, but it is very musch possible. I know this, because a mare once gave birth to triplets and after the third foal's birth, she died. But all of the triplets are alive and healthy. I know this because I happen to own all three horses. Their names are, Storm Feathers, Starlight, and Saja.

Answer 2

No, it is physically impossible. They can however have twins but as with large animals, it is exceedingly rare and poses many risks.

Actually it is possible but extremely rare. If the mare does have triplets they most likely wont survive or will not be very healthy.

Answer 3

No, even twin births are uncommon in horses and rarely will both survive. More often than not both foals are stillborn or die shortly after birth. Foals are so big that there simply is not room for multiple fetuses in the uterus.
