Three generations of Bancroft curlies:
*Pirate (2000), *Skipper
(2004), and Sparrow (2009).
Bancroft Curlies has been breeding North American
Curly horses since 1990. I started crossing Curly horses/ponies and minis in 1993. I have
continued to cross curly stock back onto registered
miniatures. My goal is to breed B
size miniature curlies (34" to 38") with good horse-like conformation,
driving talent, and the wonderful
curly
disposition.
We have two lines of curlies:
Our herd stallion, *Twisted Expression,
is 39" tall (measured as a mini). He was trained to drive in 2009 and was shown at the
Monroe, WA, pony/mini show as a National Show Pony (he is registered NSPR [now
NSPPR]). Twister's driving page
is
here. Show photos are
here.
Mocha
and her 2010 curly filly, *Skipper's Cocoa Express EB
(Cocoa is for sale)
Photos of all Bancroft Curlies foals are here
(earlier years) and here (newest).
Pictures of all the stallions I have used are here.

horses.
I am registering all my foals with the
International
Curly Horse Organization (ICHO), a registry and breed association dedicated
to the promotion and protection of all curly-coated horses. Most are also either
registered or eligible for the
National Sport
Performance Pony Registry (formerly NSPR; part of
ASPC/AMHR). Please visit the
ICHO website for the best, most truthful
information on North American Curly horses on the Web.
Bancroft Miniature Curlies is located in western Washington State about 20 miles east of
Seattle.
