Mongols have a tradition to tether their foals in on the Tiger day at the beginning of summer and to set the mares and foals free of their halter and hobbles on a Dog Day in autumn and to celebrate the feast of “Foal branding”. In order to perform this ceremony a fire is set in the vicinity of the tethering-line and an iron brand is made red hot in it. Each foal is then branded, after which the brand is dipped into a pail of fermented mare’s milk. The pail is brought into the ger to be served. Accordingly, the libation with airag (mare’s fermented milk) is made for the sky, mountains and water. Thereafter, the feast for the “Custom of foal branding” continues according to established rules.

When the summer ends and the cold days of autumn starts, Mongolians do this custom as weanling or release the baby foals and mares to their flock of horses. Mongolians release the foals from their tethers on the Dog Day of autumn and do the ceremony of folding the ropes and tethers or foal branding ceremony in that day. In order to do this ceremony, they make a fire near the tether of foal for firing the horse brand, and start branding foals. After branding they put the brand into airag in vessel and come to the ger and have an airag. They do an airag libation to the blue sky and mother earth. Depending on the weather and landscape, the weanling ceremony is done differently in Mongolia. After the libation, the feast starts with general proceeding of other feast.
