American Bashkir Curly Horses
We and the horses are located in the beautiful and unpolluted Idaho panhandle area. We are breeders licensed with the American Bashkir Curly Registry and support their standards and goals.
We are working to breed an ideal Curly Horse from foundation lines of Damele, Mead, Hammrich and Curly Jim stock. Our goal is to breed a horse that is "gentle enough for a child and strong enough for a man."
A note to our visitors:
Over the past year we have had the privilege of getting to know Dale Wolley. Mr. Wolley is a gentleman, was an old time Curly Horse breeder and a personal friend of Mr. Benny Damele and is a good historian. He has written two carefully documented books, they are entitled The Dameles and the Curly Horse and The Waltis and Other Early Settlers of Eureka and Lander County Nevada. I highly recommend both these books for anyone who wants to understand the history of the Damele bred Curly Horse. They can be bought online at www.cowboyshowcase.com/Wooley.htm or they can be ordered by phone at Raine's Market, Eureka, Nevada 775-237-5296.
This spring we will have two curly coated fillies for sale. We are also expecting three new foals from some of our best mares. Please see our sales page for more informaiton.
Here are 2 pictures of Harvey Kootenai, he was foaled on our ranch in May 2007. He is out of one of our favorite mares, Madeline, a Yellow Hornet mare. His sire is our stallion Mississippi Mud Slinger. Harvey is gaited and has Appy markings.
It was love at first sight between Harvey and the lady who bought him. Harvey's dam approved; she left his side and directed him to stay with his new master. My favorite mare, Lila, also approved. She came and nestled her head on the shoulder of Harvey's new "mom."
