The Curly-Arabian Project

Imbir'

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.Shiloh-Lad of Copper D (left)

All sired by Dixie D P-34 and out of unregistered Damele Curly mares.
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 Surprise P-1089(F) [Ibn Shazam 263529 x +Wyoming Sunshine P-950(F)], +Ebony's Royalty P-1170 [+Ebony Twist P-602(F) x Royal Scarab 65542], and +CCC Midnight Twist P-1145(F) [+Dry Creek Twistear P-355 x Atari San IAHA 1A208618]...

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).
