We are Tigre, a modern-day Tiger Horse Breed, and Registry. We are working hard to bring back many of the earliest characteristics of the magnificent legendary spotted breed of horses that grazed at the foot of the Heavenly Mountains.
The Tiger Horses that are considered a beautiful spotted breed of a horse of today are no longer used to hunt Siberian tigers but descend from those legendary equines that were once used in that way. Many related spotted horses descend from the same region, but none in a direct or unbroken line. Our spotted horse breed is no exception. In fact, we are not certain where the Siberia/China border horses came from themselves, but they must have been a pure strain when they first arrived with migrating humans. Cave paintings of spotted horses and other animals in La Scalle, France have been carbon-dated around 25 thousand years old. The caves themselves are millions of years old. Back then spotted breeds of horses would have numbered in the thousands. Sad to say none of the originally spotted horse breeds are alive today in France, and none of their descendants on the Siberia/China border either, unless we include the pony-sized Altai that are farmed for table food at the foot of the Altai mountains, and even they are in the process of change. Draft horse Percherons are being used for cross-breeding and to infuse the disease-resistant qualities of the little Altais into the mix. The Altais may be the last true remnants of an ancient breed.
