Wednesday I had the pleasure of hauling these two gelding just a short way down the road from their old boarding barn in Apison, TN to their new boarding barn in Collegedale, TN. A short trip, but those are needed just the same as the long ones.

Our miracle baby got to go outside for the first time today and it is definitely a whole new world. Lots of room to run and do her zoomies in the paddock and the first time the herd gets to see her as well.

We are so happy with this little filly's progress. She is growing super fast, almost too fast as we've had to wrap her legs for stability as her body catches up to her growth rate. She's getting lots of milk from mom, rejuvenaide supplements for leg and joint growth, and getting bigger every day!

🦓 Tira the first spotted zebra observed in Kenya – The Polka-Dot Zebra That Stole the Spotlight
Not all zebras wear stripes — some wear spots.
Meet Tira, the first known polka-dotted zebra discovered in Kenya’s Masai Mara. A walking optical illusion.

đź“Ť Habitat
Tira was born in the Masai Mara National Reserve, a vast savanna in southern Kenya known for its abundant wildlife and sweeping golden plains.
This region is home to thousands of plains zebras — but Tira is one in a million.

🧬 A Rare Genetic Twist
Tira’s coat isn’t just fashionable — it’s the result of a genetic mutation affecting melanin, the pigment responsible for color.
Instead of developing the classic black-and-white stripes, Tira’s fur displays chocolate-brown spots and blotches.
This condition is called pseudomelanism — rare, but not unheard of.

đź‘€ A Living Optical Illusion
With a chocolate-colored body and white polka dots, Tira looks like it stepped out of a surreal painting.
Its bold appearance may stand out visually, but that could make camouflage harder in the wild.
Still, nature’s experiments are often breathtaking.

🦓 Not Entirely Alone
While Tira is the first spotted zebra observed in Kenya, similarly patterned foals have been spotted in Botswana before.
These cases are extremely rare and often not well-documented — making Tira’s presence a valuable moment for science and conservation.

🌿 Conservation Relevance
Zebras face ongoing threats from habitat loss and human encroachment.
Tira’s uniqueness has brought global attention to zebra populations — reminding us that every animal, striped or spotted, deserves protection.

đź’ˇ Did You Know?
A zebra’s stripes are like fingerprints — no two are exactly alike.
Some researchers believe stripes confuse predators or deter biting insects.
Melanin mutations can create a wide range of rare zebra patterns, including spots, shadow stripes, or pale coats.

This weekend i had the pleasure of hauling this Spotted baby boy from Ooltewah, TN all the way to his new home in Frederick, MD. The weather was so nice for the trip and he was completely content with the wind in his hair while munching on his hay the whole way.
