Edgewood is a proud breeder and promoter of Canada's national horse
(1)

Edgewood is a small-scale breeder of Canadian horses, working to raise awareness of this amazing breed, and to continuously improve the breed through well-raised, high quality foals. All our foals are handled daily from birth and are used to farm equipment, handling by visitors including children, used to dogs, cats and chickens, and raised in a herd so they are comfortable in a herd dynamic. Cana

dian horses, also known as "Le Cheval Canadien" or the "French Canadian Horse", are Canada’s national horse breed and are amazingly versatile. They are highly competitive across many equestrian disciplines (including dressage, driving, eventing, fox hunting, mounted archery, liberty work, Western pleasure and ranch work, used by the Montreal and Calgary police forces, and are also a wonderful all-round hacking/trail riding horse). The Canadian breed originated from horses of Spanish, Norman and Breton stock sent from the stables of King Louis XIV of France to Canada, beginning in 1665. These horses adapted to the Canadian climate (rarely needing winter blankets), are renowned for their tough feet (rarely need shoes even on tough terrain), and are easily trained. From those foundation horses, a distinct breed of horse emerged, nicknamed “the Little Iron Horse”. Known for its calm and willing disposition, excellent feet, stamina, and strength, the popularity of the Canadian horse as a war horse (thousands were shipped to the US for the American Civil War, to South Africa for the Boer War, and to Europe for WWI) almost led to its extinction, and it is currently still considered “critically endangered” (the closest to extinction) by the Livestock Conservancy. We, and other Canadian horse breeders, are working to promote this breed so it gets the recognition it deserves.

Miss Lennox’s mane is looking delightfully tousled, as per usual. 💕

The boys come running when Laura calls them as they assume food is on offer. It was unfortunate timing that Quint decided to fire up the hedge trimmer just as they were coming towards the gate. Inferno gets really flouncy about stuff like that. 😂

St-Antoine Alias Inferno leading, with Cedar Rock Lougheed Hoshelaga (aka Aethon) and Du Coteau Mermoz Pacco (aka Thunder), coming in hot.

It was so nice to visit our 2024 Canadian filly, Edgewood Inferno Lilith. Lilith is doing so well with her owner, Claire Sawyer. We love that she’s living as natural a life as possible in a huge herd at Pinto Valley Ranch.

Our Candian c**t, Edgewood Inferno LeRoy and his sire, St-Antoine Alias Inferno, hustle up to the fence for tasty dandelion leaves when we walk the dogs past their paddocks.

Inferno: “oh, hello! Yes, the grass is so high that I am grazing whilst lying down. Plus, it keeps the bugs off my stomach—super efficient!”
