The Origin

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, to provide education about the special features of the horses, and to protect the genetic pool of the small breed population worldwide.

A Message From the President

The American Bashkir Curly Registry wants to encourage anyone who visits our website to join us in support of Shelly White, a Canadian Curly horse breeder who suffered the loss of her home during the recent wildfires in British Columbia. Shelly and her partner were able to safely evacuate with the horses, but rebuilding will take time and they are heading into winter. We wish them well and much luck as they work through this tragedy."

Here is a link for the GoFundMe page to help out Shelly.
