BREED
DISCLAIMER FOR NEWBIES:
There are still misunderstandings, misconceptions and
mistaken theories circulating on the internet about Curly Horses, even
from some Curly Horse owners and breeders themselves. That is because
education and experience has a hard time catching up with the initial
fun, excitement and passion felt when first discovering the Curly Horse.
They truly ARE different - and incredible - horses. Therefore, the 1st
received information, or misunderstandings or misinformation are the easiest
to believe and hardest to let go, and tend to go viral - they are hard
to catch up with and correct before they get passed on to the next new
enthusiast. So if you are researching about Curly Horses, from a personal
website all the way to calendars to fancy hardback printed Horse Breed
reference books... be aware that many sources
of Curly Horse "information" comes from unvetted sources. As
long as you keep that in mind as you discover the Curly Horse, you are
in for the ride of your life!
