The same horse was Champion Intermediate and Reserve Champion Intermediate Working Hunter at the Royal International Horse Show. Legal Eagle has this month won the Overall National Championship of the British Show Hack, Cob & Riding Horse Association for the second year running.
He is also the sire of Tribal Dancer, the highly successful dressage pony who is now in Germany and Tiger Moth who is eventing at top level in Holland while in this country Townley Tiger Feet has turned his attention to Dressage while recovering from a Horse Trials injury and has gained 63 dressage points in four outings since registering with British Dressage recently.
Java Tiger was one of the kindest horses one could possibly have to deal with, but was himself as brave as the animal after which he was named, a trait that is passed to his progeny along with good conformation and superb paces. A small child could go into his box and he welcomed visitors with pricked ears and great interest. He was much loved at home. |
