American Bashkir Curly Coat

[chaps89]

One for the Americans here (or possibly anyone in Scotland as the only UK stud is up that way)
Has anyone come across this breed before? And how have you found them- temperament, abilities etc?

Just asking for curiosities sake really as they're a bit unusual.

From what I can tell of them they look lovely (tho given as it would be a case of importing one or taking one on as a baby I think it's unlikely I'll ever own one, lol)

A friend of mine runs a stud and has several youngsters by the lad above temperament wise you could not ask for more!!

Were your friends horses cross-breeds, or did she have a curly mare to breed from?
I've met that lad at the equine event some time ago (think he belongs/is on loan to the stud in scotland- or was at the time) Nice horsey, me wants.

Cross - Breeds

I thought Curl was back here at Coulorthyme, but may be wrong!!

Cobgal- it's possible he's no longer up in Scotland, it was a few years ago I saw him and the only details I could find for curly's in the UK were here http://www.worldofhorses.co.uk/horses_usa/breeds/horse_breed_American_Bashkir_Curly_horse.htm
What did she breed with- did the foalies turn out alot like dad, or take more after mum?
Sorry for the million questions, just find them an intriguing breed! Thanks for the webby link, i'm now busy being nosey

Poppy- by all accounts they're good for people with allergies but I've not experienced it first hand obviously!

Lippy- ooh, how much was he? (Not that I would either have enough money or time, but hey ho!)

Wats the deal with the curls does it mean tey dont moult?? as i have a bichon freise dog nd she doesnt moult coz shes curly

 

[chaps89]

lovecharles- can't find the post, but not sure if I went far back enough so will keep looking, thank-you

Isme- I think they still moult but not as much, think the curleyness is just a genetic trait key to the breed. Could be totally wrong tho'!
