Dear Judge,
 

In the event(s) you are about to judge you will find a breed of horse you may not be familiar with.
 

At this show is an American Bashkir Curly Horse. The curly mane, tail and body hair is natural. The body hair may range from tight ringlets or crushed velvet, to long, spiral type curls. The curl is more pronounced in winter. When these horses shed in spring, they may lose all of their body curl as well as the mane and tail hair.

The American Bashkir Curly Horse Registry breed standard allows for only minimal clipping of these animals. We discourage any removal of hair from the ears, on the face, and the fetlocks.
 

The head should be medium with a well defined jaw. Basically, they are short- coupled, deep through the girth, with medium withers. Their hooves are round and proportionate. Their height ranges from 13.3 HH to 16 HH, the average being 15 HH. Some will shed their mane and tail in the summer months.

We expect these horses to be cleaned and well groomed in appearance as any other horse entering the show ring.
