of you may have noticed that our website has recently undergone a major
face lift. We are committed now more than ever to keeping this
site "fresh" and interesting. Stay tuned, we're adding and
changing things around quite frequently. Check back
frequently.
There's sure to be something new and interesting for everyone.
2-2-09 We added a new section to the website called "Testimonials". We've had so many satisfied clients over the years. It was about time that we added a section to share their stories. 12-23-09 We recently had the pleasure of a visit from a delightful couple from Phoenix Arizona. They made a flight via San Francisco to Klamath Falls and were overnight guests at the ranch just prior to our recent cold spell. Although their visit was limited to 24 hours they made two excellent choices, La Bonita CR and Perfecta CR. We have another trained black mare available ( Chromatica CR) and some other superb young mares and geldings in the early process of training. All of our remaining horses are of top level quality. They are selling within a short time of completing their training in the bit and work on the trail. 11-09-2009 We were pleasantly surprised today to receive an elegant framed trophy as an award for Aureo CR winning the 2008 High Point Award for Zone One awarded by the North American Peruvian Horse Association. 11-03-2009 New photos of La Bonita CR and Leon CR were added sale page. 11-01-2009 A photo of Gayleno CR without a saddle was added to his sale page. 10-31-2009 Current photos for Gayleno CR, and Chromatica CR were added to the sales page. 10-24-2009 Several of our horses have sold in recent weeks. The horses fully trained in the bit are selling rapidly. Click here to see a photo of Especiala CR leaving for her new home. Ferro CR has also been sold to a nice couple from Redmond, Oregon We are back on a full time training regimen and most of them are selling quickly as soon as they are in the bit and have some trail experience. None of the remaining horses are "culls", so don't miss the opportunity to buy a wonderful Peruvian Paso at prices that will not be this low again. I am only going to keep a few of my sentimental favorites and then only breed a maximum of 2 or 3 mares per year. At present we still have an excellent inventory of four to seven year old mares, colts and geldings but this opportunity to purchase will pass soon. The horses with substantial training are selling quickly at basement prices. There is still an excellent selection of 18 to 20 horses. I will not start breeding again until these are sold. With prices so low this is the time to buy while there is still a good selection of sound, top quality Peruvians. Very few Peruvian foals are being produced now because the horse market has dropped with the economy. The horses I am currently selling were born about 5 years ago when prices were higher. When they are sold the inventory of young and mature horses will be very low and prices will increase substantially. Potential buyers should act now while there is still a good selection of gender, color and stage of training in horses of this quality at the age of 4 years and older. 7-30-2009 Current photos for Lindero CR, Mejorado CR, and Aerosa CR were added to the sales page. 7-18-2009 We are in the process of posting current photos of all of the horses on the sale page. Curiosa CR and Gaylena CR were updated today. We expect to have the rest updated within the next couple of weeks. 7-6-2009 A video showing the horses in the 2009 Albany, Oregon All Breed Gaited Horse Show was added to the 2009 show page. Our trainer, Jaime has been very busy training horses to be sold. We still have about 36 quality horses at the ranch. There are many quality horses for you to choose from. Don't hesitate to inquire. Also, we have a lot of horses available that aren't listed on the sale page yet. If you don't see something that interests you on this web site, let us know what it is that you are looking for. Chances are that we have a perfect match for you in the herd. 6-22-2009 A photo was added to the gallery. 6-21-2009 New photos added to the gallery. 6-18-2009 New photos added to the gallery. A preliminary summary of the 2009 All Breed Gaited horse show has been added to the show page. 6-16-2009 We're back from the All Breed Gaited Horse Show in Albany, Oregon. We took nearly 500 photos and 3 hours of video footage. A few of these have been added to the photo gallery. It will take us a while to get them edited and posted to the website but check back for this and the announcement of our show results. 6-1-2009 New photo of one of our junior riders showing
off her new show clothing was added to the photo gallery.

A
new FAQ about the future of the Curry Ranch has been added to the FAQ
page.
We plan to arrive in Albany, Oregon on June 12 and will be staying at the Comfort Suites. Phone calls to my home number (541) 545 6488 should be forwarded to my cell phone. My friend, Jeff Hahne and his 12 year old daughter, Emily will accompany us and Emily will ride an Especial CR daughter ( Christina CR) in Junior and Novice Classes. Kathryn Hodges, her husband Gil and daughter Madeleine, will meet us there. Madeleine will be riding a young mare, Perfecta CR (Bonito CR x La Valentina ) in the same classes. My friend and trainer, Jaime Aguierre, will be sleeping on the show grounds to keep a close watch on the horses. We plan to participate with my 6 year of stallion, Aureo CR ( Reserve Champion of this show 2008) and the two mares who will be experiencing their first show. It will be Emily’s first show and Madeleine’s second show. Results of horse shows are never predictable but the process is always interesting. A number of our friends and clients are planning to attend and we anticipate living up to the “ having fun” theme of this show. As folks used to say in my childhood, “we’ll see you there if the Lord is willing and the creeks don’t rise”.
5-3-2009 A new entry on Brio has been added to the FAQ page. 4-19-2009 Just as we anticipated, the horses are selling fast. Domino CR and Primero CR are now sold. There are still plenty of other fine horses to choose from but don't wait too long to inquire or it might be too late. 4-10-2009 With Spring upon us the number of inquiries about our horses is increasing rapidly. If you're serious about owning a quality Peruvian Paso horse, don't put off contacting us or you just might miss out. 4-8-2009 Added information to the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page. 3-31-2009 Added a new picture to the photo gallery. 3-30-2009 A new "Contact Us" button has been added. It's found in the list of buttons on the right hand side of the page. Simply click on it and you will be taken to a page that allows you to easily send us questions or comments. 3-29-2009 A FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page has been added. The first FAQ's will be posted shortly. Within a few days it will begin to address many of the questions concerning the breed and the manner in which we raise and train our horses. Questions from visitors to this source will receive a courteous response. I may not be able to publish every inquiry and make no pretense of being an “expert” in any phase of equine experience. My response will be based on 38 years of personal experience and opinions regarding the Peruvian Paso Horse. Specific references of published research will be noted. This forum could also serve as a “chatroom” regarding the Peruvian Paso Horse. If you decide to submit a question or response, please designate if you wish to be anonymous. Some new photo's were added to the photo gallery page today as well. 3-28-2009 Our first show participation of 2009 is planned for the “ Summer Spectacular All Gaited Breed Show”, Linn County Fair Grounds, Albany Oregon. Classes begin at 6:00PM, Friday June 12. The Friday night classes are mostly halter classes. The Saturday schedule begins at 8:30AM and the Championship Classes are scheduled for Sunday morning. The Best of Show Class will be the last class before lunch. For any of our friends or clients planning to attend as spectators, please give me a give me a call or e-mail and I will be pleased to let you know the classes in which we plan to compete. We expect to bring Aureo CR and one or two other horses and hope to see you there. Last year this was our first show of the year and we had a great time, see Show 2008.
3-27-09 We've taken some video's of Primero CR, Domino CR, Especiala CR, and La Mejor CR. You can see them on the sales page for each horse. 3-26-2009 A 12 year old girl who is a novice rider came to visit the ranch a few days ago. She had a lovely ride on Primero CR. He's actually on our sales list right now. More information about Primero and other fine horses that are currently available can be found on the Sales Page.
My friend and horse trainer took two Curry Ranch horses to the Oregon State Fair and competed in many of the Peruvian Paso Classes. We planned to take four horses, but I was injured in a mishap 3 days before the show. My shoulder and ribs were too sore to make the trip. Jaime had the expert assistance of Kathryn Zahlis Hodges and her stepdaughter Madeleine Hodges, who drove down from Snohomish, WA. Aureo CR was Best Gaited Stallion and won the class of Best Breeding Stallion. La Valentina won 3 Blue Ribbons in large competitive classes. Details and photos are posted on our SHOW PAGE. We competed in the All Gaited Breed Show, June 13, 14 & 15 at the Linn County Fairgrounds and Expo Center in Albany, OR and have recently returned from the Northwest Regional Peruvian Paso Championship Show in Monroe, WA and experienced many favorable results on July 25-27. Please click on Shows 2008 for photos and awards.
Our last show of 2008 was a great success and enthusiastically received by the audiences and the show organizers. A direct quote from the Show Manager is “An exciting show – increased number of exhibitors in breeds overall. Peruvian Pasos had the largest classes and the most spectators. We are looking forward to expanding the division in 2009 for even more value and exciting events for exhibitors and spectators." Some of our participation is available by clicking on our Show Page, 2008.
