I think Dean Hall still rides an Al Marah curly cross named "The Great Pumpkin", you could probably look up his record. I have photos of him when he was still at Phase II, at 3 years old, I think.
Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but Curly horses have excelled in endurance....probably the most well known one is AM Humvee (Hummer) owned by Sue Summers. He has competed very well at the FEI level, and I believe even travelled abroad... Looking at him, you would not expect him to be a top endurance horse......big build, looks like a tank.....therefore the name Hummer! Bazy Tankersley (Al Marah Arabians) had done some Curly/Arabian crosses for endurance some years back.
