The Bashkir Curly is quite unique and is unlikely to have come from the Bashkir, the Bashkir curly is possibly believed to have descended from the Lokai, though no proven origins have been found. A rare trait that the Bashkir Curly possess is the mane and tail hair can shed in summer and grow back in winter.
In the winter of 1951-1952, the Curly horses were the only ones to survive on the range of Nevada without supplemental feeding. They are said to have been in North America since the early 1800's. The Bashkir Curly is non-allergenic and its coat gets long in the winter while the mane tends to split down the middle.
