Edgewood is a proud breeder and promoter of Canada's national horse
(3)

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.

The sire of our 2024 foals, purebred chestnut Canadian, St-Antoine Alias Inferno, always comes out of the fly shelter to greet us when we walk by. ❤️ (The other horses lurk inside and probably mutter about him and his keener attitude…) 😂

We are so pleased with our chestnut filly, Edgewood Inferno Lennox. Born in the paddock at 12:45 am on July 23, we brought Lennox and her dam, Three Fold Anarchy Habanero, into the barn overnight to make sure they were both doing well, which they were, before rejoining their herd later that day.

Lennox is very fine featured, with such a sweet temperament. She will be available to an approved home after weaning next spring.

We are thrilled to announce the arrival of our third foal this year, a beautiful purebred chestnut Canadian filly named Edgewood Inferno Lennox, out of Three Fold Anarchy Habanero by St-Antoine Alias Inferno.

We chose the name Lennox in honour of Lennoxville, Laura’s father’s hometown in Quebec where there was once a government-run Canadian Horse breeding farm and where Laura attended Bishop’s University. Quint approves of the name as he loves Annie Lennox (and might call the filly Annie). ❤️

Our 2024 c**t, Edgewood Inferno LeRoy (registration # CAN 15620), is named in recognition of King Louis XIV of France, who sent the first horses to New France in the 1660s from his royal stock to be used by the settlers for riding, driving, and farm work. These horses gifted from the King (Le Roi or Le Roy) became the foundation of the Canadian Horse breed (aka Le Cheval Canadien), Canada’s national horse.

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 that it gets the recognition it deserves.

We are hoping that our c**t, Edgewood Inferno LeRoy, will represent the Canadian Horse breed well in the years to come.

Our Canadian foals, black c**t Edgewood Inferno LeRoy, and chestnut filly Edgewood Inferno Lilith, play so well together. We’re anxiously awaiting the arrival of our third foal to join these two scampering around the paddock.

Black c**t: “I’m just gonna rub my itchy head on your butt, mmmkay?”
Chestnut filly: “Er, no, you’re not. Preparing to double-barrel…”

Our horses were loving the attention and we had a great visit with two other Canadian Horse breeders, Stephanie Reedy and Beth Ann Taylor, who were on a road trip from Kentucky.

We had a great time watching the Canadian Horse Carousel on Canada Day, presented by Cirque Équestre Ekasringa. The performance was very well done and it was lovely to see so many other Canadian horse breeders and enthusiasts there.

Bravo to everyone (and their amazing horses) who worked so hard to make this a success! ❤️

Happy Canada Day from the Edgewood Canadian herds!

So nice to have our chestnut Canadian mare, Belle, home from s*x camp!

We hope to be able to share good news in a couple weeks that another purebred Canadian foal is expected for 2025, once we have confirmation that Belle’s in foal, and we’ll announce the baby daddy then.
