Bashkir Curly horse?!

 Bashkir curly horses are genraly  about 14.2-15.1 hands high but can be all sorts of shapes and sizes including  pony sized. They come in any colour such as pinto, spotted/appaloosa, palimino (left) etc, and live for about 25 to 35 years. The curlys origin, like the Arabian, is completly unknown but there are 7 totally different story's that can't be proved. Their history is a bit more clear though, with the first officail sighting and breeding don by the Damele family. John Damele and his family lived in Eureka, in the middle of Nevada, and it was him and his sons who first saw 7 curly horses running amongst some wild mustangs. In spring, 1931 they caught one of the curly horses and took it back to their ranch where they broke it in and later sold it. The winter of 1931/1932 was one of the roughest in American history, and all of the Dameles horses were completly wiped out, but the curly coated horse lived. Afterwards they started catching more of them and trained them to be cow horses that could be relied on in the cold Nevada winters.
 They are very tough and can survive all sorts of crazy cold weather conditions, which, added to their good temperments, health, and  the fact that  they are pretty much good in all disaplins, makes them very good alround mounts.
Some interesting facts about them are that there are less then 5000 curlys left in the world, about 10 percent of them have a special additional gait (such as the Fox Trot, Indian Shuffle, Running Walk, etc) , and some people say they SMELL diferent to other horses??

He he he! I love the snow! : )
