Curly Horses for Sale

Summer 2010, I am listing my hypoallergenic Curly Horses for sale on my Montana-Ranch-Horses.com website. Please visit there for current sale horse information. Thank you! For Sale: We occasionally offer stockhorse-type Curly Horses for sale, please inquire... they will be excellent candidates to represent the best the Curly "breed" has to offer; enough natural friendliness & intelligence for anyone to love & enjoy; enough size and smooth comfort in their trot for most any rider; enough quality & beauty, with correct conformation to compare alongside any breed of horse; and enough bone, foot, thickness, athletic ability & cow sense to work a lifetime on any ranch. I have culled mercilessly long enough that I don't often produce a horse any more that isn't breeding quality (regardless of your intent for them). Their temperaments will be friendly, they are well handled, feet trimmed, halter-broke & on excellent health programs. If they aren't -- I will surely let you know. When you get to know me, you find out I don't typically make Curly to Curly breedings. That is because too many (25%) of them produce undesirable (IMHO) extreme Curly Horses. Also I am in the middle of ranch country, where tough cowy horses are expected. So frankly I want a sizey hypoallergenic Curly Horse with a full mane and tail that kicks Quarter Horse butt and makes typical ranch horse owners shocked and awed. LOL ok big talk, yes, but I have been blessed over the years with select individual Quarter Horses that other AQHA breeding programs would love to have, and I use them with my absolute top quality western stockhorse type Curly Horses. The few foals I produce are hard to beat, if you want a big, colorful, darn good looking, hypoallergenic ranch horse, not to mention, a good friend and partner.

Our selling philosophy... We will tell you the truth. What we have or don't have, what a horse for sale has to offer and what it doesn't have; we will let you know. Letting you know is our obligation to you, to ourselves, our horses, and to the horse industry. Buying your first Curly Horse? Remember that Curly Horses are horses. Each have their own personality, degree of natural gentleness, and amount of handling. Any horse can misbehave or get dangerous when handled incorrectly. And any human can handle a horse incorrectly at any given time; and the less knowledgeable they are, the more frequently that happens. Also, more intelligent horses (like Curlies) are often quicker to interpret incorrect handling as abuse, and resist. Resistance creates dangerous situations, especially for beginners. While a trained Curly Horse can make the best beginner's horse, an untrained Curly Horse may prove to be the opposite. Even Curly Horses with a genetically calm and reasonable temperament can still disappoint (or even hurt) someone when mistakes are made. (Read more on my Horsemanship page.)       Although Curly Horses as a breed truly DO have a calmer, more thoughtful and intelligent temperament than other horse breeds in general, I have seen many individual Curly Horses that do not have that special quiet and kind "Curly" disposition, displaying a temperament no different than other skittish horses or breeds. These horses will typically be the first ones to be culled (hence they are sold) by discriminating breeders that select for temperament. Possibly even worse are the breeders who do not realize the difference, and do not know how to select & cull mercilessly for temperament... So keep these facts in mind when considering purchasing a Curly Horse, and educate yourself about horse handling before buying your first one.       As for the human part of the equation, if you wonder if you could benefit from a good (that is the key) horse trainer, chances are, you could. Also take enought time to get references on potential breeders and sellers in the industy; the Curly Horse world is a small world, so do your research. (Read more on my sales information page.)
