Fun Fact: Did you know that Bashkir Curlies, a breed of horse known for its curly hair, are hypoallergenic? Most people who are allergic to horses can handle them without suffering any allergic reaction. Research indicates that a protein is missing from the hair of Curlies that may be what causes allergic reactions in allergy sufferers. Learn more at the American Bashkir Curly Horse Registry.

    I had to get allergy shots, and I still take three allergy medications a day. Hay touching my skin makes me itch. I work with my horses every day. I was a working student for a trainer who had Asthma. Sometimes you just have to suck it up.
