Preserve Curly Horses Globally

The American Bashkir Curly Horse Registry (ABCR) was founded in 1971 and is the oldest Registry of Curly Horses. The goals of the ABCR are to preserve this rare horse breed, to promote the Curly Horse as much as possible in shows and in the media, provide education about the special features of the horses and to protect the genetic pool of the small breed population worldwide.

We are saddened to learn of the closing of CSI, and wish to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of its director, Linda VavRosky.

With the closing of the registry, we would like to invite and welcome all CSI members to register your horses and ponies with the American Bashkir Curly Registry (ABCR). We want to assure you that we’re committed to working with you to include the special interests that made this group unique. We are pleased to offer discounted fees for registration, transfer and DNA in addition to a complimentary 1-year membership.

Please email our Registrar at abcregistry@aol.com or text her at 859-250-4364 for all the details.

We look forward to hearing from and welcoming you into the ABCR.

Joan Olson

President, ABCR
