That Curly Horses Can do it all and are Hypoallergenic..... Curly
horses come in all sizes, from mini pony to mid sized to part draft.
They also come in all colors as well as all coat types. From tight curls
to marcel waves to smooth coats. They excel in all disciplines
including Sporthorse, Dressage and Jumping, Western sports, English,
Endurance, Trail and Gaited Pleasure, Driving horses and ponies/minis. Curlies have that can do attitude
and like to work. Curlies are hypoallergenic for many people that have
horse allergies. Allergies to horses vary in intensity, so one Curly
may be better for you than another depending on your allergy. It is always best to visit a Curly in person to see if you have an allergic reaction.

Thank you to all Curly owners who supplied Curly samples through the many years. Thank you to Dr Gus Cothran and the French Research team and all the French owners that supplied samples. Thanks To Mitch Wilkinson for his work in finding remote samples. We could not have done it without all your help and cooperation. A special thanks to Sandy Hendrickson for starting the genetic research so many years ago and to all our former and current Research Directors at ICHO. You helped make this all possible. Current research done by ICHO and Dr Cothran has verified SP6 as the Curly Jim Curly Coat gene! German researchers found this SP6 gene while Dr Cothran was also working on identifying the Curly Jim gene. Testing for SP6 is now available, as is testing for both genes!
NEW RESEARCH- ICHO is actively documenting Genetic testing done on all Curly horses. If your Curly has been tested for any genetic diseases please go here for more info to document results:click on
