Curwen’s Bay Barb (c.1690-c.1728) was a foundation sire of the Thoroughbred breed. A bay horse with a white blaze he was imported by Henry Curwen in 1698 from France. He had originally been a present to Louis XIV from the King of Morocco. One of his early sons Mixbury stood just over 13 hands high and apparently there were not more that two horses of his day that could beat him under light wrights.
