My mare has just been for her 16 day scan and has scanned in foal with triplets!
This is her first foal and our vet has said she has never seen one with triplets before.
She has got one small one on one side and two larger ones the other side that are very close together. At the moment they are trying to pinch the two larger ones but are struggling as she apparently she is very tight inside (dispite sedation) which is making it difficult. We have left her at the vets for them to keep trying to fingers crossed.
The other options are to abort all 3 and start again but there is always a chance this could happen next time round or leave her to see if 2 of them go naturally.
Why is nothing every straight forward with horses!
