Curly Horse & Breeding
Curly Origin
The American Bashkir Curly horses come, as the name already suggests, mainly from America. Around 1800, wild mustangs were found with a curly coat, these curls originated from a genetic mutation. In America, they began breeding them further around 1930.
Most Curly's are found in America & Canada. Worldwide, there are about 5000 horses & ponies registered in the American Bashkir Curly studbook. Of these, there are several thousands in Europe, with only 5% in Belgium.
Besides their character and performance in all disciplines, Curlies are especially remarkable because of their hypo-allergenic properties.
Why are Curlies Hypo-allergenic?
Allergic reactions to animals & horses are caused by proteins in skin flakes, saliva and urine. There are about twenty proteins that can cause allergic reactions in people. Each person reacts differently to allergens and the concentration of allergens can vary per curly.
So whether you can ride/work with a curly without sneezing can only be determined by trial and error, but everyone will find their horse with which they can ride without complaints.
The Breeding
In 2018 we started breeding these unique animals. Their welfare and health are always our priority. The horses graze in herds and are outside 24/7 and have sufficient space, feed and a stable when needed.
Since 2019, various foals have been born with us, both horses and ponies. In May 2021, our Curly herd was expanded with another 4 ponies that are used in breeding. With a total of 8 breeding animals, we are probably the largest Curly breeder in Belgium.

Pavio Curly's Breeding Stallions
Both stallions are available for natural breeding at our location in Landegem. Both stallions are available for both Curly's and non-curly horses or ponies. With crossings with non-curly horses or ponies, there is a 70% chance of a curly foal. Since both stallions have both curl genes.
For breeding conditions or more information, please contact us.
