	Cherry Creek Canadians - Canadian Horse Breed History
		These horses were crossed with the Canadian and contributed to the development of new and distinctive varieties within Lower Canada, as well as to the general mongrelization of the entire Canadian horse population.
		Although Canadian Horses were primarily found in eastern Canada and the United States, the breed was playing an important role in the settlement of all of Canada, including the west.
		The fact that these horses located elsewhere, especially in the maritimes and western Canada, were not recognized, coupled with the advent of the farm tractor, eventually lead to the disappearance of Canadian Horses nearly everywhere, except for in Quebec and Ontario.

		These remarkable Canadian horses endured the cold winters with hardly anything to eat, or on a very meager diet, with little or no shelter and under generally crude conditions.
		As early as 1835, the deterioration of the breed as a consequence of crossbreeding was being lamented.

	Canadian Horse History
		HISTORY OF The Canadian breed may well be one of the best kept secrets of the twentieth century - not because breeders of the Canadian have tried to hide the animals, but because writers of books on horse breeds apparently have not contacted Canadian authorities to inquire.
		In summer, when the horses were little used, they ran loose in the woods, where they were tormented by flies against which they had no defense due to the French practice of docking the tails.
		Canadian horses found a ready market in the United States and were also shipped in great quantities to the West Indies, a fact overlooked by enthusiasts of the paso-gaited horses.

	Canadian Shire Horse Association's Reading Room
		It stands to reason that for horses to carry a fully armoured knight weighing in excess of four hundred pounds into battle, an animal with great strength and yet a calm temperament would be required; two characteristics not lost on today’s Shire.
		Whether for use as a ‘Cart Horse’, as they were also known during this period in history, or as a ‘War Horse’, ‘a hundred stallions of large stature’ were imported to England from the lowlands of Flanders, Holland, and the banks of the Elbe, from 1199 to 1216.
		It was during the reign of Henry VIII that acts to prohibit the breeding of horses under 15 hands were passed, and that the name ‘shire’ as applied to the horse was first used in these statutes.

	The Canadian Horse
		Influence of the Dutch Friesian may be noticed in the trotting ability of the Canadian, the feathered legs, abundance of mane and tail, and general appearance.
		King Louis sent three shipments of horses to the New World: the first in 1665 consisted of 2 stallions and 20 mares, however, 8 mares were lost on the voyage; in 1667 fourteen or fifteen horses were sent and in 1670 a stallion and 11 mares made the voyage.
		Soon Canadians were found on fine carriages, on stagecoaches and unfortunately as recruits in the Civil War as mounts and as pack and draft animals.

	Canadian Horse Breed Description
		The ideal Canadian horse should have a short, straight, rectangular head, set high with a small mouth and a large, flat forehead.
		The ancestors of the modern Canadian horse first arrived in the New France region of Canada in July of 1665.
		Cross breeding with other horses was infrequent, primarily because the difficult topography of the Appalachian mountains prevented much interaction with neighbors, but also because the war between France and England forbid interaction with the English colonists to the South.
