If the stud claimed that they did carry out pregnancy tests on your mare, is it possible to chase up who did the vetting and see the vet records to at least ascertain if the vetting was done? As much as twins can get missed, it's a given that if a mare has two ovulations around the time that she was bred that there's a chance of twins and we often find this to be the case and the vet has to terminate one of the pregnancies... I'd be chasing up someone who works with horse law and finding out if the scans did indeed take place. Chris Hi Susan,
