"Seeing Double" - or "Double Trouble"??

Twin foals in the equine world that survive are very rare - and in the Clydesdale world this verges on the unique. So it is most unusual to have surviving twins born in successive years - but this has happened in both 1999 and 2000.

Twins

Our Millennium Miracles (above) are Heidi and Hilda (or Sandhill Lady Margaret and Sandhill Amanda Jane) who, along with their mother, would not have survived if it had not been for the expertise of the staff at the Troytown Equine Hospital in County Kildare.

By Collessie Cut Above and out of Collessie Heather Honey, the foals were born on 22nd March 2000, substantially increasing the number of Clydesdale horses in the Republic of Ireland.
Twins

Their very proud owner is Cairns Witherow of Portnablagh, County Donegal, who took the photographs.
