Traveling Tiger 22 turns 5 months old today and will spend her special day in the company of pasture buddies she has shared a field with for several months, as well as a few new faces added to the fold this month. This forward filly is always ready to go, content during turnout, rain or shine. Fortunately, in these photos taken late last week, the fillies were soaking up a perfect sunny day in the Bluegrass. 

Foal Patrol sends "Tiger," as she is affectionately called by her Foal Patrol fans, happy wishes today and always.

Traveling Tiger 22 was weaned late last week. She is turned out with familiar pasture mates, including Will Do 22 (pictured above with Traveling Tiger 22) and Peaceful Feeling 22. During stall time in the mornings, she cleans up her feed and then relaxes comfortably before some handling time, check ups, and ample turnout time for exercise, socialization, and grazing. We are pleased to share that she is doing well at Safari North.

Over the season, many of you have commented that Traveling Tiger is a creature of habit. Whether it's how she approached her feed or water bucket, she has a definitive way of doing things. Tiger is an extremely confident mare, but she balances that confidence and (sometimes) stubbornness with a good temperament overall. That balance also comes through in her mothering style. She is on hand for her filly, providing guidance and nudging, but she isn't overly protective.

Although she has paired well with other mares in general, she has grown accustomed to Peaceful Feeling, a War Front mare she and Traveling Tiger 22 have shared their pasture with since February. Peaceful Feeling had her first foal, a Munnings filly, the night before Traveling Tiger 22 was born. 

The staff at Safari North is waiting for a stretch of weather and timing for some of their other foals to wean Traveling Tiger 22. We'll keep you posted here.
