This led, in January of 1994, to the official launch of the Tiger Horse Association. A colorful gaited light horse breed that is well balanced and sturdy with no extreme muscling. Eyes, large and prominent with white sclera surrounding the iris which can give a surprised expression. Viewed from the front, the head should look lean, with no cheekiness. A broad flat forehead between widely spaced eyes should taper to a fine muzzle with large sensitive nostrils.
Profile can be straight to slightly convex.
Concave or dish profile is not typical or desirable, nor is an extremely Roman nose. The neck of both sexes should be well arched with a clean throatlatch. Withers should be well defined with a sloping shoulder. The ideal shoulder angle is 45 degrees. There should be a good depth of heartgirth and legs should be straight with a long, strong upper arm.
