Bashkir curly and Colorado Rangers

Until registries are in place the Breeding Communities forum will be for players to work together towards creating or improving their favourite breeds.
Forum rules
Each breed may have only one topic. The first post in the topic is to be informative. It should help explain the breed, and breeding goals; advice on how to select mares and stallions; and links to ideal Stallions available for breeding.
Keeping a directory of breeders working on the same goal is also helpful.
All new threads must be approved.

BASHKIR CURLY INFORMATION:

Creation
Bashkir x [ Lokai x Yakut ]

General Description
(The rest of the following Information is from Wiki, forgive me if it is wrong and please correct :) )
The Curlies are known for their calm, intelligent and friendly personality. They show an easily trainable temperament. They are also known for having a tough constitution and great stamina. Most people have found that the curlies enjoy being around people. The curlies are typically not flighty. They tend to do more reasoning than most breeds. They are very reliable and have a great work ethic.

Build
The Curly has a characteristic long stride and bold movement. They have tough hooves, strong bones and exceptional endurance. Most Curlies stand between 14 and 16 hands, though they can range from Miniature horses to Draft horses, which are only allowed in two registries.

Coat, mane and tail
The unique gene that gives Curlies their curly hair (which is most obvious with their winter coat) can be expressed minimally (horse exhibits curly hair inside ears, at fetlocks, and a kinky mane and tail), maximally (horse exhibits curl all over body, has dreadlocked mane, and has curly eyelashes and guard hairs), and "Extreme" (very tight, extreme curls, but when they shed out for summer can shed entirely bald) or any variation in between. The coat in the summer shows a slight wave in it, but not as extreme as the winter curls.
Because the trait can be carried heterozygously, some purebred Curlies exhibit no curl at all. (Called "smooth coat" curlies)
Characteristic winter coat of a Curly
Curlies have split manes and are not braided or clipped when shown. Curlies are most commonly chestnut colored, but can be found in every color from standard bays, blacks, and greys, to appaloosa markings; from pinto patterns to dilute colors such as buckskin, roan, grulla, and cremello.
The care for the curly hair is simple with most people choosing to not comb the mane because the hair will lose its curliness. The manes are often trimmed to keep them from matting. The tails can be combed. Some people choose to collect the hair that is shed from the mane and tails in the spring. The hair is then donated to the ICHO Fiber Guild. They use the hair for spinning. All of the proceeds go to ICHO Curly Research Efforts.

Showing

Though eye catching and unusual in the show ring, Curlies have the movement, endurance, and heart to excel in competition. Curlies have been shown at upper levels of dressage and show jumping, and others have proved the reliable mount and patient teacher for the weekend competitor. Curlies are characteristically quiet, level headed horses that make excellent first horses for supervised beginner riders. Curlies have carried horse-allergic riders from beginner status through ever more advanced stages of equestrianism. They have also been used for combined driving, western riding, ranch horses, trail horses, and companions for other horses. Some Curlies have been crossbred to gaited horses. About 10% of the crossbreds will do one of the ambling gaits such as the running walk, fox trot or the stepping pace, which is also called the "Curly shuffle." Curlies are not used for racing or high trotting showing.

How to create the Bashkir Curly on HWO:

Bashkir Curly = Bashkir x [ Lokai x Yakut ]

Bashkir = [Tarpan x Turkmene] x Mongolian
Mongolian = [Przewalskihorse x Tarpan] x Tarpan

Yakut = [Shetland Pony x Tarpan] x Mongolian

Lokai = [Arabian x Iomud] x [Akhal-Teke x Karabair]
Iomud = [Kazakh x Turkmene] x [Akhal-Teke x Turkmene]
Kazakh = [Arabian x Mongolian] x [Akhal-Teke x Karabair]
Akhal-Teke = Turkmene x Arabian
Karabair = [Arabian x Turkmene] x [Arabian x Mongolian]

Do either of you want a Bashkir Curly filly from my second account?


She's a bit inbred, though.

ysabol, I put her up for sale for you. :)

My Curly stallions are also available for stud. However, all my Curlies are currently closely related. It will be a while before I get some fresh blood.

YAY! Than you very much :)
No, even if I totally and completely screw things up, I'll have a curly hanging out in my non-breeding pasture :)

An update on my Bashkir Curlies:

I have bred a decent stock of foundation horses and will now work on improving the breed while still indroducing new blood from time to time. For that purpose I also will continue to breed Bashkir, Yakut, and Lokai (Yakut and Lokai on my second account fluffyfg).
If anyone wishes to take up one of these breeds or Curlies, let me know what exactly you are looking for. I'll happily give away some free foals to help get the breed established.
