The curly horse history - part 2
And again, what Mike Laughlin wrote about the curly horse.
Origins
You may ask yourself after reading this Damele/ Nevada Curly Horse history, “How did these horses get to Nevada in the beginning?” So far, to my knowledge, no one has proven where these Eureka County “Curlies” came from, but there are many theories concerning this issue, including:
The horses came across the Bering Straight before the last ice age;
Russian settlers brought Curly horses to America from Russia
An Irishman named Tom Dixon imported curly horses to the Eureka area. Dixon imported two pregnant Curly mares and a Curly stud from India and turned them loose with the mustangs in the 1880s.
The horses are native born mutations.
The horses are remnants of pre-Spanish horses.
There are still reports by the ranchers and Bureau of Land Management employees that Curly horses have been recently observed running with the mustangs in Eureka County, Nevada.
