ABCR Registration :
ABCR 2832

The ABCR was created in August 1971 and was the first one for the curlies. It was created by a group of breeders because too much curlies, with people ignorance, were slaughtered.

At this moment, the ABCR started to register the first curlies who came from mustangs herds in Nevada. These horses were introduce in ranches herds, as ranchers lost of their horses because of very bad winter. Because curlies were very rare, they were crossed with the others horses in the ranch herds.

The Damele are famous, as they are the one who saved curlies and breed them. Some others ranchers in central Nevada did it too, while people captured mustangs to sell and kill them. Those killed lots of curlies who were in these mustangs herds.

In January 2000, after a vote, the ABCR closed his stub books. The ABCR did that as lots of people bred their curlies with other horses breeds, and then some people thought the curlies were not a breed, but only a horse with curly hairs. Since then the ABCR only accept curlies who have two curly parents ABCR registered. Before that, a curly horse from only one curly parent was ABCR registered. Now the ABCR does not allow outcrossing at all.

ICHO Registration :
ICHO 89-D

It's an international organisation where people can register all sorts of curlies (even if they come from non curly parents). The ICHO classify the curlies in differents categories : Dominants, Smooth Coat, Unknown and Recessive. For that, the ICHO ask to the owners a hairs sample for each curly, so they do an DNA test, for the registrement.

The ICHO missions are to preserve, protect, promove, register, and doinf researches on the curlies. The ICHO do international researches at the University of Aachen in Germany with the Dr Frank Jugert, who is working to find why and how curlies are hypoallergenic. But they are others places for the researches.

The ICHO propose differents associations : ICHO Sport Association, ICHO Natural Gaited Association, ICHO Western Association and ICHO Pony & miniature Association.
