About Curly Horses
How the Curly Horse came to the United States is still a mystery! Their have been many theories, but no factual proof has been found. Evidence indicates that Curly Horses have been in North America since the early 1800s. Indian pictographs illustrating the "Winter Counts" have shown that in the winter of 1801-02 the Sioux stole some Curly Horses from the Crow. A significant number of Curlies today have been traced to Indian reservations in North & South Dakota. Many Curly Horses have been bred from wild horses roaming the land. Many of these horses have been domesticated and raised by ranchers throughout the United States and Canada.
Curly Horses are highly unusual, and everyone wants to know what traits set them apart as a distinct breed. We hope to answer some of the most commonly asked questions. Most Curlies are of medium size, but they can also be found in pony and draft sizes. They resemble the early-day Morgan Horse in conformation.
A number of traits link this unique breed with the primitive horse. Since Curlies have been crossed with other breeds due to their own scarcity, they come in all colors, even with Appaloosa or Pinto markings.Their curly coat's are what distinguishes them most from other horse breeds. Curly Horses have coats in varying degrees of curliness, many coat patterns have been observed from a crushed velvet to a perfect Marcel wave to extremely tight curls over the entire body.
