Welcome to the wonderful world of the American Bashkir Curly Horse! These horses with the curly coat are a rare and beautiful breed, coming in different conformation types, but generally with a wonderful disposition that usually makes them great beginner horses. They are not just Curly Horses, but the curly coat seems to be also hypoallergenic. People who suffer from horse allergies often react ve
ry little, if at all, to the Curly Horse. The goals of the ABCR are to preserve this rare breed, to promote the Curly Horse as much as possible in shows and in the media, provide education about the special features of the horses, and to protect the genetic pool of the small breed population worldwide.The ABCR has registred over 4,100 Full, 750 Straight and 750 Part Bred Curly Horses since 1971 and is the largest Registry for American Bashkir Curly Horses worldwide. For more than 40 years, volunteers have been providing leadership for the American Bashkir Curly Registry, serving the enthusiasts of this unique horse breed with registration services, information and marketing support. Over the past several years, the ABCR has become officially organized in Canada and Europe. With this expansion, the American Bashkir Curly Registry is now an international registry.
