Tiger Horse

There are two types of Tiger Horse, the "Heavenly Type" and the "Royalty Type." Because the Tiger Horse breed is still in development, there are variations in  conformation even within these two types. The Tiger Horse may have a straight or convex profile. Breeders are striving for the predominance of the convex profile as it reflects the  Spanish ancestry of the breed. They have a large, eye which is well-placed on the head. Stallions have pert, forward-pointed ears while those of a mare are usually longer. The necks are arched and substantial and the chest is well-developed. Although the refinement of the legs and bone range throughout the breed, they should be clean-boned and have average sized hooves. The mane and tail may be full or sparse. Tiger Horses may show the  leopard complex traits, including a white  scalers and striped hooves. They come in all  base coat colors and often display the leopard pattern of an  Appaloosa. Solid colors and solid-colored hooves are also accepted if the horse fits the Tiger Horse profile and has two registered parents.  Markings such as socks are acceptable but not preferable, as they may be indicators of  splashed white or  sabirogenes. Both types are have an average height of 15  hands (60 inches, 152 cm) or more, although Heavenly types may be 16  hands (64 inches, 163 cm) or more.
