about us history of the Warrior bloodline email   © 1998 Sorrel   Beautiful Hypoallergenic Curly Ranch Horses Early in American history, a few rare horse appeared, with a curly winter coat. Captured, owned & bred by Native Americans, and then ranchers, these unusual hypoallergenic horses were discovered to be consistently hardy, sturdy, intelligent & kind. Throughout the latter 1900's Curly Horses grew in numbers and were crossbred with everything from draft horses, ponies, morgans, arabians, gaited horses and sport horses. Today, Curly Horses still exist in wild horse bands throughout the Great Basin. Among the domesticated, retaining the core Curly Horse traits of exceptional health & temperament, there is a fancy hypoallergenic horse to be found for any rider (allergic to other breeds of horses) in any equine discipline. At Crow Country Curly Horses, we raise the original ranch & stockhorse type Curly with Native American lineage.   rare horse of the American West intelligent, calm temperaments rugged hypoallergenic ranch horses stockhorse conformation & bloodlines raised with Vaquero style horsemanship living on Lakota lands returned to Crow Indian homeland Warrior Wind ICHO-106D DNA'd, ABC-465.5, 1999 sorrel curly mare, 15 hh She is in her smooth summer coat here, photo taken May 29, 2010.

"Dear Donna, This is a great website! It is very informative. The information listed is very helpful in the process of horse purchases. I wish I had had this when I purchased my first two curlies. I now have three. While I'm very happy with my horses there are many things I would have changed had I had your information up front. I certainly will put this website in my list of favorites. Have a great day and stay safe. Sincerely, Johnette Yeager" "Dear Donna, Came across your webpage today while searching for Native American Horsemanship info. Though I am not in the market for a curly horse, I found the information fascinating. I have a handful of Icelandic horses that sound like they have the same temperament. Native techniques and philosophy seem to work best for both me and the horses. The articles you provided will help me deal with some issues of respect and "personal space" that we are having. Thanks for taking the time to provide this! Best wishes and thanks again," Sue "I found your web site today. It is rare that I spend an hour on any one web site, but couldn't quit. I must say I could probably spend all day just at your web site. It has some very valuable information, especially the natural horsemanship area. I bought, helped break and train a 4 yr old Welsh pony gelding. We started April 2005. He is very smart, but we don't just get on and ride yet. He needs some exercise in a small arena to get the edge off. But other than that he is doing very very well. I printed off all your information on horsemanship and will reread the info on manners, that is very helpful for me. I've ridden well broke horses since I was maybe 5 yr old. I'm now 55 and it is a whole new world breaking and training your own. I can't wait to learn more of your way of training. Thanks again for your web site." linda in Kansas "Hello! How fun to be browsing, and read about curly horses! My sister has a horse ranch in Minnesota, and was actually the one that got me started painting horses. It was so fun to see that you had several of my SW primitive series horse prints showcased on your site! Anyway, I’m the artist, just wanted to introduce myself. I have done much study on the ledger drawings as well, and did a series of tribute paintings to Leaping Antelope, and several other wonderful warriors who depicted events on notebook paper, and stock ledgers. I really enjoyed your site!" Cecilia Henle Cecilia Henle Fine Art
