HCR Janelle (Diamond)

Description:

HCR Janelle (Diamond) is a seven (7) year old American Bashkir Curly Horse with a foxtrot gait. She has been with us since a weanling. Curly Horses are rare, but only about 10% of the breed are gaited. She is kind-hearted and calm by nature, with a soft eye and a personality that makes her a farm favorite.  Diamond is aptly named. She is a true gem!

She has a curly coat, which distinguishes her from other breeds. Diamond keeps a full, long mane and tail year-round without shedding. It is shorter right now due to an over-enthusiastic cocklebur trim. Her fetlocks and eyelashes are even curly! Curly Horses are known for their quiet temperaments and hypoallergenic qualities.

Simply put, they are the poodles of the horse world. Diamond, without a doubt,  has the typical “curly” personality and affinity for humans. She is an “in your pocket” horse that is curious, loyal, and eager to please no matter what you ask of her. You will see this in the video when I ask her to Park to Mount using a loader on a tractor.

As the video also shows, Diamond has undergone extensive desensitization training. She is trained to “touch” objects. She is unbothered by background noise and children. Under saddle, she is simple to ride. She does well with traffic, including ATVs. She has been trained using the Clinton Anderson Fundamentals. Diamond is registered with the American Bashkir Curly Registry (ABCR), but you could also register her with the International Curly Horse Organization (ICHO) if you wish.

Call us with any questions about Diamond. She is willing to go any direction you want to take her from being a husband’s horse to a horse for the whole family. We’d love to have you come to see her for yourself!
