Name: American Bashkir Curly
Approxiamate size:14.3 - 15hh
Colour Variations: Any coat colour
Place of Origin: United States
Warm blooded. Very good temperament. Uses: Hacking.
Their most strinking feature: Coat (extremely curly in winter but not so in summer)
Increasing in popularity.
Ancient origins and two of the only other breeds to have a coat similar to theirs are Lokai and Bashkir of the USSR.
First discovered in America in 1898 in the Peter Hanson mountain range of Central Nevada. Two horse riders saw three curly haired horses living in the wild and now many of the curlys can be traced back to that herd.
Tough and enduring.
Able to withstand most extreme climatic conditions.
Those captured from wild are relatively easy to train.
They shed their mane and sometimes their tale in summer which grows back in/for winter.

There's someone on the SaddleUp message boards whose got one of these in the UK. Something special about their coats, I think they are hypoallergenic (so good for asthmatics) and that they shed all their coats in one go, but I might be remembering wrong.
