The Curly Horse breed is unique in that it carries a gene that gives them curly hair. Some Curlies however can be totally smooth coated while others exhibit breed characteristics such as a curly coat, curly hair in ears, fetlocks and eyelashes and dreadlock type manes.

Curlies can be found in every colour including black, bay, grey, spotted, paint, palomino, buckskin etc but they are most commonly chestnut.

Interestingly, Curlies are renowned for being the only hypoallergenic horse breed. It is believed that a protein that causes allergic reactions to horses is missing from their coats. The study was never officially published though so research continues.

There is much disagreement as to where Curly horses, also known as Bashkir Curlies, American Bashkir Curlies and North American Curly Horses, originate from. Theories include Russia, Tajikistan and even Iberia. Curly Horses can now be found in Canada, North and South America. Europe and Australia. They are a rare breed with less than 4,000 registered.

Curly Horses are renowned for their gentle natures and are used in most disciplines including dressage, jumping, eventing, driving and western riding. Their stamina makes them popular mounts for trail riding and endurance.
