The Canadian Horse

www.prairiefarmreport.com
Features: The unique "Canadian" horse breed. Visit Bill Humeny from just outside Saskatoon, SK. where he has a herd of 10 Canadian horses. This unique breed goes back to the 1600's before Canada was even a country. They were sent to Quebec or New France by Louis XIV for new settlers in the area. About 75% of Canadian horses are black, standing 14 to 16 hands high and weighing between 900 and 1500 pounds. At one time there were as many as 160,000 in Canada with their numbers dropping to as low as 200 in recent years.

I have 3 Canadian horses, they are beautiful, intelligent with lovely smooth gaits. A most underestimated breed.

[@dm5109]

zita harper can you please tell me, how much a stallion can cost up to!

[@paillette2010]

My horse is 1/2 cheval canadien and 1/2 standardbred. He’s 23 now, was a PMU, and has got foot like rocks (never needed shoes) and is still sounds as the first day I backed him. He’s big, 16.3 like his mom, but all dark brown and still a dream come true.

I had a Canadian husband and I've never heard of them.

Farm I used to visit had 2 of these a black stallion, and a chestnut mare. They were very adorable and playful. They kind of remind me of the Spanish Andulusian with the thicker necks, they aren't extremely tall either which is the perfect size for me.

I help take care of an IR Canadian horse. When I first layed eyes on her I said to myself, "I'd love to get my hands on that horse!". A couple of months later here I am taking care of her. She is 24 years old and delightful. Rolls in the mud too much though!

My 8th Great Grandfather (Francois Belanger) was a big part of settling Quebec , "The New France" in the 1600's, He came over from the Normandy area of France, with Captain Gifford in 1635 I believe it was. He owned some of the first Canadian horses. Great history..!

That’s so cool! Currently learning about New France in social studies

I love these horses. Some day I'd like to have one to work my northern New York farm with.

[@calgal5752]

Thank you for an interesting video. I was unfamiliar with this breed, & look forward to doing some research. They are good looking; I like their size & hardiness. Thanks!

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

I've never heard of this breed.

[@printaboul]

As a quebecers, sure I'm proud, but it would be nice if Canada didn't forget the Newfoundland pony also.

[@DaniHMcV]

I agree! I’m from Newfoundland and very worried about the Newfoundland pony.

[@darrelcdammann]

[@zaffirk7726]

Are they winter hardiness. For example; -25 degree Celsius.

[@lclarke7280]

LOL....VERY, my mare hates being blanketed, most of us never blanket even at -40 celcius

[@zaffirk7726]

@@lclarke7280 thanks, I'm looking forward to get one in the future👴

[@DaniHMcV]

Any “Canadian” can tolerate temperatures that low, from these horses to the people that live here! :)

[@olocippicolo]

-25 is okay, as long as it isn't a snowstorm or raining. With proper exposure, the horse will grow a thick winter coat, but they still have their limits.

[@jayshyam4000]

I love horses...I want to save Canadian breed....looking forward to go in Canada and want to make future with horses. Canadian horse lover can contact me

[@perseapina]

who else came here from listening archagathus?

[@outoftime7740]

Why would you continue to breed these horses, when there are plenty of Canadian horses in the wild that need rescueing?

[@Mendezfarriercompany306]

Are our canadian mustangs adoptable?

[@elizabethhd7430]

Please for the love of God sweat your horse's neck and put them on a diet before your horse breaks the crest of his neck
