Curry Ranch is a working ranch where the horses and their training are integral parts. The experience is invaluable for the young horses in building their strength, confidence and exposure to a variety of conditions. We are using them as plantation horses and having a lot of fun in the process.
Our recent move to a smaller nearby and more efficient property is nearing completion. The new facility has two barns with stalls an indoor wash rack and veterinary area. A third barn provides for a covered round pen. The youngsters grow up in large paddocks and we have an outdoor arena with excellent footing. Direct access is open to virtually endless trails on public and private land. Photos to be posted soon.
Breeding Philosophy
Initially, my goal was to breed the " perfect ", Peruvian Paso Horse. Realizing that a goal of perfection is indefinable and therefore unattainable, the focus shifted to that of consistently breeding horses with " ideal qualities " of the breed. For me, the ideal Peruvian Paso Horse must, have the requisites of proper gait with extended thread, possess the proper conformation for soundness and exhibit intelligent, tractable behavior with athleticism and excellent brio.
Although, I find the aesthetic appeal of certain colors, beautiful heads, long sculpted necks and luxuriant manes/tails to be attractive features, I deliberately excluded such factors in making breeding decisions. This approach has allowed the good fortune of reaching the primary goal. A bonus, has been the simultaneous development of wonderful aesthetic qualities. Many of our strongest performers happen to be " drop dead " gorgeous, with compelling charisma.
The Curry Ranch, goal is to continue on the path of sound fundamentals and accept " beauty " as icing on the cake. ( Please click on Trail and Show ).
