It looks like Traveling Tiger might have foaled last night. I was watching her last night and she looked like she was about to pop. There is a little one out in the paddock this morning but no update from the farm yet.

Yep. That’s her and wee babe.

Must have been another momma and baby in the paddock this morning. Just checked on her and she is in her stall still awaiting the blessed event.

She’s a pretty mare. She seems to have reached the “when will this be over” phase of pregnancy.

Shes wrapped up and restless right now!

Flanders · Thu Jan 13, 2022 10:26 pm

Yeah she is definitely in labor.

Edit to add: She is foaling now.

Flanders · Thu Jan 13, 2022 10:35 pm

flashy filly, she looks chestnut but she is still very very wet.

Edit to add: I just looked at Traveling Tiger's pedigree. Her dam is a full sister to Stormello and this filly has a lot of that look. Can't wait to see a close up to see if she is chestnut or bay.

and the filly just hopped up on her own, they tried to help her stand a couple minutes ago but she wanted to do it on her own.

I think she is chestnut. I had to go away from the computer for a little bit and she got dry since then.

Well. I was wrong. Welcome to the world baby girl.

She is adorable.

They are out in the paddock today, you can see the filly’s blaze from a mile away!

What is the bandage or splint on the filly’s hind leg for? I’m guessing to correct an issue?

She definitely wasn't a fan of the wrap when I looked earlier, she kept shaking her leg.

Foal patrol website had this update:
Traveling Tiger and her Audible filly are doing well. The filly will have her left hind leg bandaged for a brief time this week to get her tendons to relax a little.

Ah I didn’t see that. Thank you!
