The Tiger Horse, another interesting breed

shell · 04-26-2004, 09:33 AM

The Tiger Horse is a breed of Spanish American type which combines the easy riding four-beat gaits of the past, plus the Lp color pattern (Leopard complex gene) which is also found in the Noriker, Knabstrupper, Appaloosa, Altai, and other such colored horses.
The name "Tiger Horse" comes from the French and Spanish name "Tigre."
The Tiger Horse is an ancient breed, once used to hunt Siberian Tigers and which originated on the Steppes of Asia, the Don region of Russia, near the China border. Today in the USA efforts are underway to bring the Tiger back, by using contemporary "gaited" or "saddling" breeds, and crossing them on certain types of similar, or gaited Appaloosas. The Siberian Tiger Horse was not only brilliantly spotted, it was also four-gaited.

I know they are gaited and can also come solid. This is the registry web site.

They have the spotted coat, but are not an Appy.

Can any gaited Appy be registered with this association, or is the Indian Shuffle different from the gait of a Tiger horse?

Nevermind, I just read more about it and this association does not register Appaloosas who gait.

Here is another site with more info.
I think the gaited Appys are called Walkaloosas.
