This photo shows a black Bashkir Curly with copious amounts of mane. Because the Bashkir Curly shares some gentic materia with the old style Appaloosa, some curlies can be prone to having manes that shed or which break and rubb out easily. This curly, however, shows the example of one that does not. This Bashkir Curly, posessing a large amount of Spanish Mustang breeding, passes dense manes and tails to his offspring. The curly dreadlocks on this horse reach his shoulder and the forelock when combed extends to his nostrils.
