Jerry's Horses


 

From kinky spit curls to gentle marcel wave, the Curlies offered unique hair that caught my eye. I can still recall those cute Curly babies at Elmer Johnson's Rush River Farm. At that time, I was still training Thoroughbred race horses. Weeding out the most fractious of the TBs and getting Curlies, added a whole new look to Halvorson Farms. Trainability became the horse's most valued trait and having trained horses of many breeds, the Curlies really stole my heart. It is interesting to watch peoplereaction to these unique and rare equines, not just how they look, but how they act.
