Discover
the Curly Horse; you are in for the ride of your life!
Curly Horses truly are unique and amazing. Curlies come in nearly every
size & type including sporthorse, gaited, draft, stockhorse &
pony. They come in every equine color known. Some have long manes and
tails, and some have "singed" scanty manes & tails. They
are hypoallergenic, proven by scientific testing as well as generations
of anecdotal evidence. They are naturally hardy and intelligent. Oddly
enough, although having developed out in the wild, they are also unusually
friendly and calm by nature.

DISCLAIMER FOR NEWBIES:
Outdated & disproven information still circulate about Curly
Horses, in everything from old library books all the way to freshly posted
blogs. Facts fall behind when innocent older theories circulate faster
than their current proven updates can keep up with! Also, much colorful
lore & many accounts passed down over the years by Curly Horse owners
are impossible to verify or prove, so must be qualified as questionable.
When you research the Curly Horse watch for "information" that
may pre-date current research and understanding, and then fit all claims
and stories into known facts using common sense. If accuracy is important
to you regarding the Curly Horse - use CurlyHorses.com as your go-to,
fact-check site.

Currently
undergoing a major makeover, CurlyHorses.com has been transferred to a new
host computer and, after a number of years of neglect, the composition of
a new edition is finally underway. CurlyHorses.com is proud of its history
(formerly presented on ICHO's CurlyHorses.org) as the go-to online
resource for Curly Horses. For years we have been the world's first &
foremost source of unbiased (researched and documented) Curly Horse breed
information - covering Curly Horse history, breed characteristics, types,
sizes & bloodlines, photographs, stallions & breeder directories,
educational articles, editorials, discussion segments, FAQ, glossary of
terms, marketing resources, free classifieds, and everything else that we
have compiled over the decades about this unusual hypoallergenic horse.
Enjoy your visit and stay tuned for the return of all the information you
have come to rely on, plus even more. |
