Lakota

Lucky

  “Sunday Sylence” is a black Bashkir Curly Horse and our ex-stallion.  Sy is 15.1 hands and was born July 13, 2002 in Indiana. Sy has a masculine, powerful appearance.  He is bold and prefers to face the unknown rather than run from it, as a result, he has become a very reliable trail horse.  He also has a very curious nature and is incredibly playful.

Sy enjoys picking up objects and tossing whatever he may come across just for the fun of it while strutting along with a proud carriage.

​​Tom

​

​ Bosco, a Standardbred/Morgan Cross.  He is approximately 15 years old and joined our herd in August of 2017. He was previously owned by an Amish family in Homerville, Ohio.  He is loved by all and settled in quite well with the other horses here at our farm. 

 Our American Bashkir Curly Horse Family which is an unusual breed of horse known for their curly coats. Curly horses can withstand extremely cold temperatures. They shed out their thick, curly coat after winter leaving a wavy lighter coat in spring. They are also hypoallergenic, which enables them to be used as therapy horses for riders with allergy symptoms. 

In Loving Memory  March 7, 1996 - December 14, 2020  "Easy Tom" will be missed by all. 

"Easy Tom" was a Quarter/Thoroughbred cross gelding.  And was the horse most of our young students rode for their therapy lessons at JAFS. He enjoyed his work at JAFS, and all the treats his riders would bring him. His favorite past time was food and performed his notorious head bob dance when anyone passed by the hay bales. 

Tom will truly be missed by the riders as well as the volunteers and instructors. May his gentle soul rest in peace, for he surely earned his angel wings. 

Sy

“ Sara’s Lucky Charm” is a white Bashkir Curly pony mare.   Lucky is 14.1 hands and was born  October 15, 1996 in Kentucky. Lucky’s eyes have an oriental slant, with a soft, sleepy look, and curly eyelashes.  She has a friendly disposition, is very intelligent and has an amazing memory. Her mannerism is calm and confident with a relaxing stride at the walk. Her movement at the trot has suspension and is an energetic, quicker paced trot which is suitable for the more outgoing rider.

Lucky loves nurturing her young but is a no-nonsense mare that is very good at teaching and protecting her foals.

                “Lucky’s Lakota Sun”

is a dark chestnut Bashkir Curly gelding and youngest of Lucky and Sy’s offspring.  He is 14.2 hands and was born April 7, 2009 on our farm.  His markings are a blaze with muzzle and upper and lower lip and has left and right hind stockings.  Lakota is playful, fun-loving and energetic and sometimes has a bit of a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

Lakota has recently moved on and is owned by a teen rider and enjoying his new farm.

​​In loving Memory, 

Bosco

"Bosco" is a Standardbred/Morgan cross gelding and stands 15.3 hands.  His color is seal brown with a black coat that gleams.  Bosco is a kind soul and very affectionate with an easy going attitude.  His stride is graceful and provides comfort for our riders.  Bosco also drives and joyfully pulls the cart with our students throughout the arena and outdoors around the barn.  A bit different than his days pulling an Amish buggy out on the open road but happily goes along.

Our Horses 

Lucky, Sy and their offspring are our Curly horse family. Lucky and Sy have been the proud parents of three colts and one filly over the past several years. Our family of Curlies are enjoyed by children and parents alike. They have seen firsthand as each new foal has grown and matured. It is a fascinating learning experience. Families have witnessed the care Lucky gives to her foals and her watchful eye as the foal’s curious nature leads to many entertaining happenings. 

​There are many similarities in life between horses and humans that can be seen when watching the love between a mare and her foal and the ever present protectiveness she possess. Some of our timid riders become more comfortable with horses because of the less imposing stature of the youngsters. Our Curly foals all love to be handled and have affectionate, loving dispositions.
