About the Curly HorseThe American Curly Horse is a unique and versatile breed with a mysterious past. No one knows where they originated, but they have been known to exist in the western United States for nearly 200 years, and they have been bred and used as ranch horses for at least 60 years. As of 1992, there were over 2,000 Curly horses registered in the American Bashkir Curly (ABC) Registry, P.O. Box 246, Ely, NV 89301 USA. The Registry was founded in 1971 to preserve the rare Curly breed, which was then in danger of dying out. |

The versatile CurlyCurlies are used for a variety of recreational and working purposes, from pleasure riding and driving to farm work. Because they come in many sizes and types, there is a suitable Curly for every pursuit. Curlies are used as ranch horses, carriage and sleigh horses, dressage horses, show horses, parade horses, and all-around family horses, among other purposes. There are breeders in almost every state, Canada, and several other countries. A good way to see the versatile Curly in action is to attend the annual ABC Convention and Horse Show held in Ely every summer. |
