TIGER HORSES ARE OUTDOOR ANIMALS. THEY LOVE THE TRAIL AND COMPANY OF OTHER HORSES.  THEIR ANCESTORS WERE ONCE USED TO HUNT THE SIBERIAN TIGER. IT IS NO SURPRIZE THAT FOX HUNTING COMES QUITE NATURALLY TO THEM.

Fox hunting started in the Virginias in the USA and found it's way to the UK where it continues to this day.  We do not have any pesky fox to hunt but the sport follows the same rules and dress code as this age old sport dictates.  "Hounds" (never say "dogs") are very much a part of this sport and they look forward to their weekly exercise when the club meets during winter.  Without the hounds, the sport would be boring and without the scent of cayote, the hounds would not hunt.  This exhillarating winter sport breaks the monotony of the cold and makes winter go by very quickly for us. It is also a great social event.

Anywhere! Anytime! Tiger Horses!
