Tiger is a model!

[pasonotti]

Here are the pictures of Tiger and the model who is wearing gowns from Neiman Marcus. If any of you saw the tv program called In Search for the Next Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model", you will remember Shannon Hughes who finished in 2nd place. This is Shannon with Tiger. She is a very sweet and lovely girl......veryyyy tall!! Of course I think Tiger was the real beauty here!! LOL The shoot took over 4 hours and Tiger was a real gentleman the whole time. He got to rest, eat and take nature calls between the wardrobe changes, but mostly he had to stand nicely for the camera. They changed gowns 4 or 5 times, but these are the best ones in my opinion. Even though I personally can't shop at Neiman's, nor probably wouldn't if I could, I was proud of Tiger for his efforts. He even earned some money for this to go into his "horse account". He got to buy some extra treats and a new blanket and have some left over to enjoy when we need something fun. I was the one who was nervous because they didn't want any "horse slobber" or sneeze drops on the gowns. Luckily, we were safe there and nothing like that happened. Whew......, cause you should see the front of my clothes after a visit with my boy. Hee Hee! I hope you enjoy the pictures, because I am proud of my Tigerboy.
Steph.

Wow. He absolutely does look like a natural model. How hard was it to get him to keep ears forward and head up? Just beautiful!

[Blameitonbrio]

The colors are beautiful, and I hate to tell the human model, but Tiger steals the show!

Yeah, if I could afford to shop at Neiman Marcus, I would skip it, go to Target, and spend the savings on my kids, dogs, and horses!

That postcard is very cool, Cheri!!

One comment on Tiger's pics - how come the model is holding his halter instead of just the lead? .... mine would feel a little claustrophobic after awhile... he must be a very good boy 8-)

[Brigitte]

WOW!! That is one very well behaved horse, and he looks so perfect doing it!

[Got Brio?]

Beautiful pictures! Tiger steals the show! Of course, that is what everyone on this board thinks like! :D

He must be a very calm, very photogenic horse. I have the hardest time getting horses to give me their ears front!

Congratulations on such a wonderful boy!

Hey Cheri~~~ I think your postcard is very cool!!! You and your horse are gorgeous as always. To answer a few questions that some of you had. The pictures were taken last year and were taken at the stables where I keep Tiger. To get him to put his ears up so great, the photographer used a mirror and would show Tiger his reflection. This worked for a few frames, then Tiger wised up and just thought it was ho hum. So then the photographer used a stick horse. When you squeezed one ear the horse would make a whinny sound or if you squeezed the other ear the horse would sing a little song and his mouth would open and close. Tiger was very curious about this "new looking horse" LOL This got his attention for awhile, then we tried other things like leading one of his buddies out of the stall and walking her in front of him. They also used a Happy New Year noice maker to get Tiger's attention. I also could call him and he always responds to my voice. I was just off camera ready to take over if there was any problems like Tiger getting ready to slobber or something. Hee Hee! The question about the model and why she is holding on to the halter?~~~ The model said she felt more secure that way, since she hadn't been around horses very much. Tiger was okay with it and it didn't seem to matter. The model had part of the lead in her other hand too. The stylist also thought it looked better and the model could do her poses. LOL~Hollywood stuff!! Hi to my friend Carol U. too!! :D
