{OLD: NO LONGER IN USE}The Canadian Horse

[BlanketMonster]

The Canadian Horse is a little-known national treasure of Canada. In April of 2002, the Parliament of Canada passed a bill establishing the Canadian Horse as Canada's National Horse, recognising the breed’s contribution to building this great nation. A breed that celebrated its 350th year in 2015!

giving this forum a bump since Canadians are becoming more popular

[Woodstock]

I was wondering if anyone would be able to sell me a Canadian mare? I would like to breed the st.lawrence and don't have a Canadian mare right now.

[BlanketMonster]

@Woodstock

These are the mares that I can offer you. I looked through my herd (which needs a major clean up and organizing) and found that none are really close to being a good shot for a St.Lawrence.

There is (F) Canadian| Thinking Wanderer



and (F) Brave Stardust
who is Part Shire x Canadian (55%)


If either interest you please let me know. Both would cost ~$5000 each.

[Woodstock]

I think I like Thinking Wanderer the best would it be possible to buy/ lend her for a bit?

[BlanketMonster]

Sure thing! Buying/Lending whatever works for you best.

I placed her in the market for $5000 so you can pick her up whenever.

I tinkered in the demo a bit and I've come up with what I think would be a pretty good conformation/body shape to strive for!
Mane can either be the thick fluffy one or the long straight one.



Let me know what you think!

Hey, I'm working on creating my own lines of Canadian Warmbloods and was wondering if you had any Canadian Horses with decent stats and a Medium Light to Medium build.
