We suggest that if these two breeds are used, individuals that show little or none of these characteristics be chosen. Breeders now have sufficient registered Tiger Horse stallions from which to draw for their Tiger Horse production. The Leopard complex gene when pure, produces a symetrical and evenly distributed coat pattern. When mixed with other white genes it produces a variety of patterns. Usually the Nez Perce are depicted riding white horses, presumably Ghosts.
Today there are several roan genes identified on various equines.
One of them never skips a generation. The roan of the Lp gene is usually accompanied by spots except in the Ghost Horse which is born white but whose base coat colorings eventually roan into a feathered pattern. This insures that good pigmentation will always be present in The Tiger Horse breed. We are continuously adding the latest Tiger arrivals. Please come back and see us again soon.
