Since
1971, when Curlies were first registered by the newly formed American
Bashkir Curly Registry, Arabian horses have been used to improve our
Curly horses. When contemporary owners and breeders of foundation
bloodline Bashkir Curlies decry the practice of out crossing, they
often forget that many of those self same foundation Curlies were
1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 Arabian.
Many
early Curlies were the get and grand-get of Nevada Red 18125, a
chestnut CMK bloodline Arabian whom the Dameles of Nevada used at
stud for many seasons. His sons include the highly influential sires
+Peter J P-1(F), +Jay's Curly Boy P-19, and +Dixie D P-34(F). Nor can
anyone deny the lasting influence of his daughters +Primadonna
P-136(F), +GB Copper D P-718(F), +Old Grey Mare D P-719(F), +Squaw D
P-720(F), +Peso D-1 P-721(F), +BB Copper D P-722(F), +Niva D
P-733(F), +YB Pinto D P-734(F), +Lop Ear (unregistered), Buttercup D
S-139, B Ackerman D S-116, and Kobia IAHA A-33707.

Some of
Nevada Red's more influential early foundation grand get include
+Colonel Austin P-148(F), +Shiloh-Lad of Copper P-325(F), and +Nakita
P-102, all by +Dixie D; +J's Don P-39 and +Dan J P-70 by +Peter J;
+Baha Toiya D P-612 out of +Squaw D; and +C.C. Mikhailev P-403(F) out
of +Primadonna.
Another
highly influential Damele foundation sire was the 1/4 Arabian
stallion +Peacock D P-100(F) by +Damele Brown Curly Stallion and out
of Kobia IAHA A-33707 (by Nevada Red).
Other
partbred Arabian Curlies left their mark in the foundation ABCR stud
books, as well. Consider the grey mare +Risha Rishan P-27(F) [Kishtee
Raylas 20081 x +Pello Chino P-18(F)] who, when bred to the +Dixie D
son, +Nakita, produced the sire of champions, +Spartacus P-237(F),
almost certainly the most influential living stallion of our
breed.

P-34 and out of

Dorothy Hedges
of Aberdeen, South Dakota, bred numerous foundation Curlies, many of
them Appaloosas as well, by crossing her purebred Arabian mares on
+Spotted Cossack P-235(F). They include +Ivan Toro P-505(F), +Comrad
Roshi P-506(F), and +Nadia P-507(F).
Veteran
breeder Bazy Tankersley of Al-Marah Arabians has bred good looking,
tough Half-Arabian endurance Curlies for well over a decade, several
of whom are registered in the ABCR foundation stud books.
Another
1/2 Arabian foundation Curly sire is +Pancho P-475(F) by +Peter Paint
P-226(F) [he by +Peacock D out of Kobia] and out of Ferjon's Melody
174531.
Other 1/4
to 3/4 Arabian foundation Curlies include the stallions +First Riches
P-1205(F) [+Velvet's Red Riches P-365(F) x Susie's Sangre Bella
143816], +Sha-Med P-460(F) [Mershed 58593 x +Alicia B 2A229343],
+Buddy P-1223(F) [Delane 292811 x +Alicia B 2A229343], +Native

The Arabian-Curly
Project was conceived in October of 2000:
To
provide on-line information, downloadable photographs, and pedigrees
of early and contemporary partbred Arabian Curlies and their
ancestors.
...and...
To
promote the Arabian as a outcross and to showcase the results of
Arabian/Curly matings by publishing photos, accomplishments, and
other data relating to contemporary 1/2 and 1/4 Arabian
Curlies--including foal announcements and a Horses Wanted and For
Sale list.
...and...
To
maintain, at no cost to their owners, an informal, on-line registry
[The C-AP Index] for part-Arabian Curlies (curly-coated and
straights).
