North American Curly / small pony type (very rare)

Barn name: PIRATE
Color: bay tobiano, one brown one blue eyes

Pirate is our "newbie" stallion. He is one of the very few small pony type registered Curly stallion in the word. We bought him from Ellen Bancroft of Bancroft Curlies & Miniatures Horses located in Washington State. His first son, *Pirate Little Buccaneer EB was bought by Lene Jensen in Norway as a pony stud so Pirate will have soon some grandkids that speak Norwegian!

Pirate is a tall (very tall!) horse in a tiny pony body. He thinks that he is - at least - as tall as Passion and it is very funny to see him challenging the others big guys through the fence. Pirate is also very sweet and very wiling to please. He is not the "horse in a pocket" type and for this aspect, he looks like Chimo a lot. But when he trusts you, he works hard to please you and he will leave you do all what you want with him.

With his flashy color, his curls, his blue eye and his wonderful movement, you can't miss him when you come to the Ranch. He is the one, with his 2 girls, who take care of the back garden mowing and he is always ready for a treat, even from strangers hands!

Pirates belongs very well with the other horses. He likes to play with his buddies, Dagobert and Zack, or even with his pony mares (the mares let him think that he is the boss, they are really sweet!)

Small Pony Mare

Barn name: CACHOU
Color: buckskin with perhaps a silver dapple gene (not DNA tested yet)
Year of birth: probably 1994
Height: 46 inches which is 11,2hh or 117 cm
Foals:one known cremello filly
Status : broodmare and school horse

Cachou is a very cute pony mare with more of a horse shape than a pony one. She has very beautiful blonde highlight in her mane, one blue eye and fading dark legs. She is well trained under saddle and we use her also for driving. She is fast and elegant and we reserve her for the intermediate level rider because beginners could be afraid by her fast walk.

Cachou is not a Curly and she is not hypo-allergenic. But we expect that the babies that she will have by Pirate will be hypo-allergenic as well. Small Curly pony mares are not easy to find (it seems that there is less than 25 Curly ponies under 12hh known in the word...) so we had to find an alternative. Curly coated or not, Pirate loves his mares!

Small Pony Mare

Barn name: CHOUIYA
Color: suspected silver dapple on a chestnut base.
Year of birth: 2000
Height: 44 inches which is 11hh or 112 cm
Foals: none known
Status : broodmare and school horse.

Chouiya is the archetype of the pony: quick learner, intelligent, sweet, mischievous, short on her legs with a huge and thick blonde mane. She is cute and the kids adore her!

We named her after the arabic word "chouiya" that means "a little bit" or "a very small amount", because she is our smallest one here, so she is a "very small amount of horse"!

She was a spoiled pony before we got her, but she has learned very fast how to be a well mannered pony, how to walk on a leech and how to carry a kid on her back. She is a very good partner for the young kids which are obviously beginners.
