Date of Birth: 05-18-09 Sex: Stallion Color: Buckskin Height: 15h Sire: Falcon (Buckskin) Dam: Bandera Dexy's Midnight Runner Tiger Moth was the result of a very long and somewhat risky gamble. There are many gypsy breeders out there with unlimited funds at their disposal, but (alas!) I am not one of them! I put a lot on the line for this boy, and I know I am very fortunate it all worked out as it did. I fell in love with Falcon, Tiger Moth's sire, after receiving a picture of him in an email. Falcon is a breathtakingly beautiful solid buckskin stallion with profuse black feathering. At the time, Falcon was owned by Irish Tinker Stables in the Netherlands. His frozen semen was only available to one farm in the U.S. and they weren't sharing. Thus it seemed the only way for me to get a foal by Falcon was to buy a mare in Europe and have her sent to Falcon's stable. So that is exactly what I did. I purchased Dexy, Tiger Moth's dam, from Sherry Evertson of Lazy River Gypsy Horses in Oregon. As I wanted a solid (vice tobiano) foal, Dexy fit the bill perfectly. At the time, Dexy was still in England. I had Dexy transported to the Netherlands for a romantic encounter with Falcon, and 11 months later, Tiger Moth was the result. I could not be more pleased with this boy. Tiger Moth pretty much has it all - outstanding conformation, beauty, and temperament. He has a stout build, deep body, great bone, and hair to spare. He is gentle, friendly and sweet. Tiger Moth is a beautiful golden color and may have inherited his dad's 'sooty' gene. He has smudging around his eyes and several dark patches on his body. His 2 front legs will have black feather and his 2 hinds will have white feather. Tiger Moth is literally a dream come true, and I thank Sherry Evertson of Lazy River Gypsies, Ellen of Irish Tinker Stables, and all the well-wishers that helped make this happen.
