Tiger Horses for sale have been used as base breeding stock for other varieties of old European Horses, such as the Knabstrup Horse and the Appaloosa.  The Tiger Horse is a much older variety of horse.  Tiger Horses were introduced into North America by Spanish colonists, and also became popular among Native American tribes, as horses spread across the new continent.  The Nez Perce tribe, for instance, was renowned for its use of Tiger Horses, and managed to breed very quick horses, which aided in the famous Nez Perce escape of 1877, where the tribe fought a running battle to the Canadian border after refusing to be confined to a government reservation.

Modern Tiger Horses have become popular once again, and efforts are being made to reestablish a full-fledged Tiger Horse breed in North America as well as Spain.  As this unusual horse has been widely bred with other horses, to create entirely new breeds of horses, the Tiger Horse breed has been diluted, although many true Tiger Horses remain.
