But smaller breeds have their problems as well, like the Bashkir Curly where many breeders continue to use and promote the use of hairless (extreme / baldy *) horses in breeding based on the anecdote that they are homozygous for
the curly coat gene; these are horses who are defenseless to weather extremes (head & cold) and bugs (no manes, no tail hair, many times large swaths of their body hairless as well).
