The first recorded breeders of curly horses were the Crow Indians. In 1801 or 1803, some Lakota warriors either stole or were given some of their stock. The Eli Bad Warrior family had some of the last known Curly horses and sold them to a long time horse wrangler named Ernie Hammrich, who began breeding them for the curly hair trait. This is how they came to be known as the Bad Warrior Curly Horse line.
