This month we’re going to our northern neighbor, Canada to see a beautiful sight, the Canadian Horses. These beautiful animals are known for having a heavy and wavy mane and tail, and good bone and feet. They are considered to have soundness, hardiness and endurance. They are willing horses and easy keepers. Most Canadians are black, bay, chestnut and brown, but there are a very few individuals that carry the cream gene and are called "ash white." These horses can range from 14 to 16 hands and they can weigh between 1000–1400 lbs. That's a significant weight range; from a light riding horse to draft horse! Today, many Canadian Horses are bred for driving. They also compete in a wide range of riding disciplines. The generally good temperament displayed by the Canadian horse also makes them useful as all-round family horses.
