World’s oldest twin horses?

Are Bill and Ben the oldest twin horses in the world? The 24-year-old brothers are hoping to trot into the record books with their claim to the title. Although twins aren’t uncommon in the human world, experts say it is really unusual for twin foals to be born. The Veteran Horse Society, which looks after Bill and Ben, is asking Guinness Records to check out their claim. The twins used to give rides to kids at London Zoo but are now retired and living near Cardigan in Wales.

Society spokesperson Julianne Aston, said the boys are so similar it can be hard to tell them apart. She said, “We have tie a blue ribbon in one of their manes to tell them apart.”

The horses, which have white hair and blue eyes, enjoy snacking on carrots, apples and are given sugar-free mints as a treat!
