I live in Anderson, Missouri and in 2003 I bought a 4 year old mare (Suzy Q) that was pregnant. On April 15, 2003, Suzy gave birth to a perfect little filly (Pictured to the left). I thought she was the cutest baby ever and personality plus. The little curls on her neck just made her even more adorable. After reading an article about curlys I suspected that she might be a curly. So I did some research and had her tested to see if she was hypoallergenic HOORAH she is a Curly. The above is how I got started. I still truly believe that Roxy is a smooth coated Curly because she has tested hypoallergenic. I have had Roxy's dam, Suzy, tested also and she has proven to be hypoallergenic to everyone that has tested her. But I will tell you I do not know Suzy's parentage. So until we get a test there is no way for me to say that she has curly breeding. I also want to say that there are some who don't think the smooth coated curlys carry a curly gene. My question to them and to you is "What is the most important aspect of a Curly?" I believe the answer to this question is they are hypoallergenic. There are some who will disagree with me. Most of the Curlys on my place are smooth coated curlys. I do have a couple that have a marcel wave. But for the most part my Curlys are smooth coated. ALL of my curlys have at least one parent (usually both) that are from curly breeding. To read more about the SC Curlys and my theories go to SC Curly page. Well now I have decided instead of just having pleasure horses I want to make some families dream come true and show them that they can own a horse also, even with the allergies. My goals with the curlys is to breed gaited curlys with wonderful personalities, correct conformation, strong bones, and hypoallergenic coats. I am going to strive to be able to accommodate the kids and adults. We have found that a curly does not have to have a curly coat it can be wavy or smooth coated. Now those who what to have horses but are allergic don't have to feel different. Don't get me wrong we love the curls but we also love our minimals that show little to no curl. But are just as rare and beautiful. They still have the hypoallergenic quality, awesome personality and they have silky soft hair. Every baby that is born will be imprinted and worked with daily until the time comes for that baby to go to its special home. |
