Jamie Kane and Don and Kate Mead of Muskeg Valley Ranch have donated another Bashkir Curly gelding named Greyling for our program.  He is an
awesome horse.  He has Suffolk draft horse in his bloodlines and it shows in his amazing build.  Bashkirs are a unique breed of horse that have, as their
name implies curly coats.  The curly coat can be hypoallergenic.  The hairs are round instead of flat.  They are barbed or feathered underneath a microscope;
and they can be spun and woven.  Testing proved the hair to be closely related to mohair, instead of horsehair.  You can learn more about the Bashkir Curly
breed on the Registry website at
www.abcregistry.org.  Click here to go to Greyling's page.                                                                                                       02/09

sure everyone who volunteered was fed well.  They made the meals and even treated everyone to brownies in the afternoon!

the boy scouts!  Thanks Bobbie, Tory, Becky and Amy!                                                                                                                                                                                          06/06
