History
See also: AppaloosaThe Spanish had no word for leopard, so they called all cats with leopard-like markings, as well as tiger markings, simply tigers. In 1992, Mark and Victoria Varley began a breeding program to recreate "El Caballo Tigre," the spotted gaited horse that had been brought to America from Spain in the 16th century. They began breeding certain Appaloosa horses with non-spotted, gaited types. According to the Tiger Horse Association, "The Soulon's pheno-type is the ultimate profile for our modern day Tiger Horse Breed." The Soulon was a leopard-spotted horse bred in China during the Tang Dynasty around 618 AD. On January 1, 2011, The Soulon Tiger Horse Registry was created to promote this type and to award Registered Tiger Horses exhibiting the Soulon Type with the Soulon Seal of Approval.
