Corrib Curly Horses

Discover the rare, naturally hypoallergenic companions
that open the world of horses to everyone

What makes Corrib Curly so Special

At Corrib Curly, we offer more than just horses; we provide a unique opportunity to bond with our extraordinarily rare, hypoallergenic Curly horses. Each horse is ethically bred and nurtured, ensuring a profound connection that transcends traditional equestrian experiences.

Hypoallergenic

Due to a difference in the structure of proteins in their skin and hair, Curly Horses produce fewer allergens. For allergic individuals, they offer hope — and even a potential "desensitization" effect over time.

Intelligent

The Curly is very intelligent, and trains very quickly. For these reasons, the Curly is very suitable for a wide variety of disciplines, and when properly trained, it works well for owners of all experience levels.

Calm & Peaceful

Known for their calm, friendly, and intelligent nature, Curly Horses are ideal partners for many disciplines and are especially suited for individuals with special needs.

A special Breed

Curly Horses have been preserved and selectively bred for their remarkable traits for generations. Ranging between 145–168 cm in height, they are robust, balanced, and versatile.

A family’s journey, a rare discovery

Not every horse is just a horse… Ours came with a miracle — a chance for our daughter to ride, to belong, to breathe freely beside the animal she had always loved from afar.

Now we raise these rare Curly horses in Galway, so others can experience what we once thought impossible.

— Karin & Enda, Corrib Curly Horses

“We never thought our daughter would get to go horseback riding, let alone own her own horse. Finding Corrib Curly Horses changed everything — no allergic reactions, just pure joy and belonging."

Genetics of the Curly

The curliness is governed by dominant and recessive genes. Extreme Curly Horses (often dominant homozygotes) tend to have the most hypoallergenic coats, retaining full manes and tails, and developing a beautiful, soft summer coat.
