Mayme is a strong
dun factor 1995 daughter of *Seekers Warrior, and is a feminine version of
him, except for being taller and much less curly: she is a true minimally
expressed Curly Horse. When I acquired her it was winter in South Dakota,
and I thought she was a smooth coated Curly mare until I got close enough
to her to see her ears. When you get close you see a little coat curl on
her neck beneath her mane and most importantly, the hair inside her ears
(the typical giveaway) is very curly. She produced an extreme filly by *Bad
Warrior in 1999, which further indicates her dominant Curly gene. She has
produced 2 extreme foals now, both of which have kept their tail hair so
far. She is a range mare, but is sensible and easy to handle and work
with. |
