For everyone who has wondered how they ship those horses over to other countries, here is a peak at the
process. This is the transport stall that our curly stud colt, ZGC El Dorado traveled in!! See him in the middle.
They load them up and then a crane moves them into the cargo compartment of the airliner. About 12 hours
later they arrive in their new home in Europe.
Welcome to Zion's Gait Curlies!!
In Southern Utah, USA in a place not far from Zion National Park, the small community of
Hurricane is home to some of the rarest horses in the world --- Curly Missouri Foxtrotters. The
qualities that make these gaited horses special are their gentle, intelligent dispositions, hardy
nature even in the coldest climates, their smooth gaits, and a very unique trait--curlies are hypo-
allergenic to most people, opening a whole new world to those allergic to horses. In these big,
wide-open spaces of the West, these extraordinary horses gain confidence and sure footedness
as they glide through the sometimes rocky, sandy, and steep trails of Utah's "Color Country." The
gentle disposition of these gaited curlies, their smooth ride, strength, endurance and great minds
are tested in the crucible of this area's diverse climates and habitats. If you are shopping around
for a Gaited Curly Horse, be sure and ask for video showing their natural gaits. It seems these
days that many people breed for curls instead of focusing on the most important quality in a gaited
horse............ natural smooth gait!! Please, do your research before you buy.
