YR Breed Spotlight: Curly Cuties

Sarah’s mom was so allergic to horses that by the time she drove Sarah home from riding lessons, she had to take some medicine and then rest. After discovering these horses, Sarah and her mom drove nine hours to meet Twiz.

Fortunately, Sarah reports, her mom had no reaction at all!

Now, Sarah says her mom doesn’t have to avoid horses with average hair. “Because of having Curlies for the last seven years, Mom has built up a tolerance to ‘regular’ horses,” says Sarah. “She may not be able to snuggle them like she can Twiz, but they don’t bother her just by being around them anymore.”
