The trail is where the truth comes out . . .

At Curly Pines Ranch, we prepare our horses for the trail -- and train them on the trail for success in any discipline. Just like any performance discipline, in trail riding, whether competitive or recreational, the connection between the horse and rider is critical. A horse that is responsive and supple on the trail means a better ride -- one that is more enjoyable, scores higher, takes you to more places, and is safer. Learn more about our American Bashkir Curly Horses and SFT Performance Trail training at www.curlypinesranch.com. Happy Trails!

One of the most distinctive features of the American Bashkir Curly Horse is its unique curly coat, which is known to be hypoallergenic. Extremely soft to the touch, the winter coat can range from a dense pile of curly ringlets to deep velvety marcel waves. Their mane and forelocks can be corkscrewed ringlets or wavy. Whatever the coat type, the gentle temperament and disposition of these special horses distinguish them as a breed just as much as do their curls.
