Traveling Tiger at Safari North 6 - photo by Roda Ferraro 11.28.2021.jpg

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.

In this episode with Traveling Tiger and her 2022 Audible filly, we ask Safari North's Deborah Ward, "Why is night turnout important for foals?"

Just a reminder that the last day of live camera feed for Traveling Tiger and her Audible filly will be Monday, May 23.

Traveling Tiger 22 will be weaned later this month. We will continue to add more information about the weaning period and weanling management to the Season 5 Education Site in upcoming weeks. 

Although Safari North's live camera feed ends on Monday, we will provide updates on the mare and filly through the end of June, so be sure to check in with us often.

The last day of live camera feed for Traveling Tiger and her Audible filly will be Monday, May 23. Traveling Tiger 22 turned 4 months old last week, and she will be weaned next week.

To learn more about the pre-weaning period, visit our Foal Care blog on the Season 5 Education Site. More information about the weaning period and weanling management will be posted to the Education Site in upcoming weeks. 

Even though Safari North's live camera feed ends next week, we will provide updates on the mare and filly through June, so be sure to check in here on "Recent Updates." We'll keep you posted on their progress.

Enjoy our newest video installment with Traveling Tiger and her 2022 Audible filly at Safari North.

In this episode, we ask Safari North's Deborah Ward, "How does raising a foal to sell as a weanling differ from one you plan to keep?"
