Canadian Horse
By 1800, the breed had become well known in the United States. Canadian horses were used on stagecoach routes throughout New -England. They were also used to improve other stocks and develop new breeds, playing a pivotal role in the formation of the Morgan, the American Saddlebred, and the Standardbred. Though the Canadian horse was celebrated for what it could do, no breed association was ever established in the United States, and there was no documented effort to maintain a purebred population in this country.
The Canadian stands 14-16 hands (56-64") at the withers and weighs
900-1000 pounds. Canadian horses are solid and well-muscled, with a well-arched
neck set high on a long, sloping shoulder. The overall impression is one
of a round, sturdy, and well-balanced horse. Canadians are primarily black
or bay, with full manes and tails. They are energetic without being nervous,
and, as appropriate to their heritage, versatile and adaptable for a variety
of riding and driving disciplines. Status: See CPL Click Here for Breed Clubs and Association Contacts
