Clever Allemont, a Storybook Stallion The story of Clever Allemont is almost what fairy tales and movies are made of. This storybook stallion continues to deliver a message of hope to horse lovers everywhere, and to anyone who may be facing what seems like a hopeless situation. Read Kristin's story of how Winding Road helped this aged Thoroughbred stallion escape the risk of slaughter to retire at Old Friends in Georgetown, Kentucky. Winding Road Equine Rescue Blog In honor of Clever Allemont, plans are underway to construct an addition on to the existing barn that will provide for six more horses. If you would like to contribute, you may do so through PayPal or directly to the ranch. Please specify what your donation is for. Links to Clever Allemon's Rescue Stories: Thoroughbred Times Bloodhorse The Ottawa Herald (YouTube Video) Horse-Racing Emporia Gazette Media Span Online The Horse In December, thirteen curlies found their way to safety at Winding Road. Two have gone into foster care and the others are waiting on their forever homes. These horses have had very little human contact or handling and are amazingly serene. They are also very curious! The amount of progress they have made in such a short time is amazing--they are gaining weight, and just as importantly, they are gaining trust. Please help in supporting the Curlies! FROM THE CURLY HORSE RESCUE WEB SITE: About the North American Curly Horse North American Curly Horses are a rare breed of horse, with an estimated 2,000 currently living in the United States and Canada, and a small handful in Germany, France, Finland, Norway, Holland, Sweden, Austria and Australia. The Curly Horses most admired feature is their distinctly people-oriented temperament, and kind, willing nature, gentle inquisitiveness, and bold, sensible demeanor. The Hallmark of the breed is its unique Curly coat, which ranges from tight pincushion type curls to soft marcel waves, and a wide range of curl types in between. Curly horses also exhibit curled up eyelashes, long curly fetlocks, a mane that ranges from light waves, to double-split mane with long dredlocks, to no mane at all! I think the most interesting tidbit about the Curly horse is their hypoallergenic qualities. Most allergy suffers find that they are not allergic to Curly horses ( although there can be a range of symptoms exhibited from individualhorses), and at the very least their allergies are greatly diminished and tolerable. Ben Collins was a young man full of life and promise; friendly, charming, self-confident, and ambitious. He loved his family and friends and had a special place in his heart for horses. Ben made time and a home for two rescued horses in his busy life—working full-time and attending school pursuing a second degree. Ben’s life was tragically cut short May 26, 2008.   "Top Rail" plaques placed on the top row of the fence are $50; randomly placed plaques are $35. More... |
