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, as well as breed statistics including current breed numbers, registrations, distribution across North America, and the number of 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 2008). 

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:
