Please feel free to browse through this part of our website devoted to the Canadian Horse breed.

In it, you will find basic information on the breed, it's history, the breed standard, and breed statistics including current numbers, registrations, distribution across North America, and association members.

There is also information on the various Canadian Horse bloodlines, based on a research project done by Yvonne in 2000 (with some new updates as of 2006).

Last but not least, there is a page devoted to tips on how to buy a Canadian Horse of your own, and an extensive page of links to various information sites, breeders, internet groups, articles, as well as a historical timeline of the National Horse of Canada Bill in Parliament.

To get you started, here is a bit of general information on the breed:

Breed Characteristics:

Height 14 - 16 hh, with a breed average of 15 hh

Weight: 1000 - 1400 lb

Sturdy build with strong legs, substantial bone, and excellent feet

Shorter in stature than many common riding horses in use today, a Canadian Horse tends
to look bigger, be stronger, and are able to carry a larger/taller rider than their height
would suggest due to their substantial body and bone size

Usually black but may also be bay, brown or chestnut. No gray

Long, abundant, often wavy tail and mane

Excellent dispositions and good work ethic

Sociable, intelligent, sensible, trainable, and calm

Most commonly used for driving, the Canadian Horse is truly versatile and may be found doing dressage, jumping, eventing, endurance, trail, ranch work or just being the family or kid's horse
