Horses share many important similarities with humans in their chromosomes and pregnancies.

42% of miscarriages and abortions in the first two months of pregnancy were due to complications from an extra set of chromosomes, a condition called triploidy.

Horses are a good model for studying human pregnancies because they have a similar gestation period.
