Wayne and I strongly support the International Curly Horse Organization because `their business ethics and their breeding philosophy are sound and in complete agreement with our values system. Kootenai Curly Horses is happy and proud to be associated with this responsible registry and with the good people who make it up.
In a world in which professional horse trainers and breeders are encouraging their clients to become “over horsed” and own horses that are too hot blooded for their ability, we are breeding for a horse that is quiet and gentle. We are breeding for a family horse that a beginner can work safely. Yet we also are breeding for a horse that can successfully compete in the upper levels of horsemanship. This means that our breeding must produce horses that are both sweet and brave.
We believe in the horses that we breed and we stand by our word. For this reason we have a written "Buyers' Protection Guarantee." Ask us about it. Before you purchase any Horse, from us or from someone else:, we strongly recommend that you visit the horse in person or have a trustworthy representative visit the horse. A pre-purchase vet exam should be part of almost any purchase. We will be glad to recommend several good veterinarians in our area for pre-purchase examinations.
Wayne and I try to have pictures on our web site showing our horses as they actually are. "Action" pictures can be exciting, but they often don't provide the information you need to judge the quality of a horse. We try to show the horses' conformation and where possible, the temperament and behavior. We don't always have a large number of photos of all our horses because we give priority to handling and training them. We believe this best serves both the horses and the purchaser.
Sincerely,
Penny and Wayne

Penny's Chief
This is Chief, a 2006 foal out of our mare Maeve. He looks very much like a
son of Spartacus. His movement is also similar to that of Spartacus also. This
is because Chief's dam, Maeve, is of the Bill Mare line which influenced
Spartacus greatly.
Chief has been broke to ride. He is doing well under saddle and is making the young lady who owns him very happy.
