Curly Stock Horses
This breed of Curly Horse has beautiful conformation, and is versatile for ranch work or other uses. It was bred over millenia by master breeders. Almost extinct, this nearly forgotten line has a superior temperament and work ethic. The Curly Stockhorse Preservation Project is a voluntary, informal initiative, working with the International Heritage Horse Association (IHHA) and the Curly Stockhorse studbook.

Warrior Seeker Fox ICHO 932-D
Bad Warrior X Seekers Foxtail
 [assumed homozygous KRT25]
Amy Wall says:
"Hi Donna, My friend Amanda Andrews owns this extreme mare, foaled in 2001. Is there still an effort to preserve these warrior lines? She does not want to sell the mare but might be willing to let me get a foal off her. I do not have a stock type curly stallion myself, my stud is out of gaited lines. We are located in Peshtigo, Wisconsin."
I sold this filly to a guy in Michigan in (I believe) 2001. I called her Warrior Fox Fly. I thought she was the prettiest extreme foal I had ever raised. |

Warrior Arch•Angel [assumed homozygous KRT25] (bred by CCCH, first called Warrior Latte, later registered as Angellica Warrior Maybe ICHO-) copper dun mare DOB: 06/1/1999. Bad Warrior X Warriors Mayme Maybe (daughter of Seekers Warrior). Owned by informal Bad Warrior preservation syndicate comprised of Killingsworth Ranch (possession), Mountain View Ranch and Crow Country Curly Horses. This is a full sister to the late Warrior Minne Xpresso. Killingsworth Ranch has this mare running this spring /summer with a very nice roan AQHA stud; we are hoping she began to cycle again at her old age, for the preservation effort.
UPDATE: Warrior ArchAngel produced a dun son; a western pleasure type stockhorse colt. He may be available to the right home. |

Warriors Twisted Sage [assumed heterozygous KRT25] 1/8 Berndt, 5/8 stockhorse. Owned & shown by Sheryl D'Uva, Cozy Nook Curly Horses, Washington; bred by Crow Country Curly Horses. Note Sage's nice clean neck to shoulder attachment, long hip and excellent balance. Sage is young, and is currently not being bred. The owner has expressed no (affordable) offers or interest in preservation breeding at the time of this writing. However this mare was trained & shown in public, making an impression like only a fancy type Curly stockhorse can do out west, which is also very important.

Stag Creek Savannah 2010 extreme red dun tobiano [assumed homozygous KRT25/KRT25], bred by Barbara Carroll, Texas. A shot or so of mixed heritage, but all in all a nice stockhorse type extreme mare - she would produce long full-tailed mane & tail curly stockhorses every time, when bred to a top SC curly stockhorse or QH stallion. Not sure where this girl ended up? |

Warrior Honey Dun is 100% Warrior top and bottom; sired by Warrior Seek Justice ABC 3675, and out of Warrior Minnie Xpresso, one of the last daughters of Bad Warrior. Honey was foaled September 16, 2016. Honey is an easy-going, in-your-pocket, laid-back filly that could become a valuable contribution to the preservation project in the future.

I have a 15 year old Warrior bred buckskin ranch gelding.
Sonny is quite a horse. He is a 16 hh curly, powerful and durable, with a light mouth and light on his feet.
His sire was Mystic's Mountain Sunrise ABC-2592 who went back to Dameles Brown Curley and Nevada Red (was owned by Glady in OK).
His dam was Warriors Queen Sue P-2406 (was owned by Crow Country Curly Horses and sold to Gladys). "Polo" was by Warrior's Range King ABC-1351 by Bad Warrior ABC-1330 and Dakota Sioux ABC-862.
Warrior's Queen Sue ABC P-1355 by a Hammrich range stud (quarter horse) and Miss Berndt Warrior ABC P-1326.
These are, as you know, some the best foundational Curly horse lines possible. Steve Moore Spokane, WA. smore777@aol.com |

Stag Creek Collette, [presumed KRT25/KRT25] "Nova" is a black extreme curly mare, bred by Barbara Carroll, TX. A shot or so of mixed heritage, but all in all has a good stockhorse structure.

Owned by Lillian Raad, of the Netherlands.
2020 Update: Stag creek Colette is owned by Mireille Wosten in Nederland.� She is now called Shanti. You can see her under curlyhorses.nl. |

ZZ Comanche Pearl, 2018 mare, *Riley's Pebbles x *Poplar's Comanche Knight. Candid field shot. So long as health and circumstances allow, we will keep her in our breeding program to maintain curly stockhorse bloodlines.

DCC Sioux Warrior ABCR-2451; ICHO-432D, 1998 grullo + grey curly stallion, owned by: Annise Finch, Deer Creek Farms, Troy (central) TX. Shipped semen may be available @ afinch@deercreekfarms.com. I remember drooling over this horse's dam, she was a gorgeous grulla mare. She was not stock type, but she was beautiful. I don't know if we ever knew her origin, bloodline-wise? This stud's sire was Wendy Robinson's big rugged 16hh grey stud that Ernie had bred, a product of one year when Ernie infused a dab of draft (homesteader type) blood in the mix, to add power and bone. This horse, although not strongly stockhorse type, is middle of the road... and nothing wrong with that; he should be useful in infusing outside blood, and still carry the Warrior line forward.
Warrior Mead Berndt Lakota, owned by Angie Gaines, Golden Curls Ranch, Texas. With rugged bone and straight legs on four corners, Lakota exhibits a bright flaxen sorrel color like many of the old Berndt horses. I have honestly never seen a straight side-conformation photo of this boy, so I don't know if he has stockhorse conformation or not. Mare owners might possibly need to see more of him to use him on the right mares for preservation type efforts.

Warrior Lynx 1998, 14.3 dun stallion owned by
Louise Parker, Llangollen, Wales, UK. Louiseparker@trevorhall.com. Photo by ©Sorrel, Germany. This gorgeous hunk stallion had the temperament everyone thinks of, once they have owned a Warrior horse. These horses make their owners look good. And the better trainer the owner is, the better they get. Louise has bred ole "Lazy" to a number of good mares, and has a nice little herd of curly stockhorses. Lazy is a GBED carrier, so is only bred to negative mares. He is an amazing horse and has made a name for himself on both sides of the ocean.
FOR SALE: Jane's big growthy extreme colt Vinita, Oklahoma [presumed homozygous KRT25/KRT25]. Available to preservation breeders. Jane and I have researched and put back together this colt's probable pedigree. This colt (I believe) is a 3/4 Warrior, 1/4 Damele bred colt. And he looks like he might just make a horse.
