anyways these are the ones I am talking about http://www.cherrycreekcanadians.ca/information.htm
Very strong, and well tempered horse, also just off the endangered list but still a long way to go. If I don't get one of these it will probably be a large 1/4 horse.
thoes curlys are neet but a little light for my liking, but who knows. My sister does the jumpping thing and I tease the heck out of her about thoes saddles also, not for me.. I'll take a good westren saddle and a long ride over going in circles with some jumps in the way

Yes, the Canadians you're talking about are very different from the Canadian Warmblood I posted. "Canadian Warmblood" is a breed registry that registers different warmblood breeds (Trakehner, Dutch, Oldenburg, etc) often crossed with Thoroughbreds. Really what it is is a mutt breed registry that allows a horse to enter based on a scoring system done on their parents. But, shhh! Don't tell the CWB owners that!!!
The Canadians you're talking about are definitely biiiig horses. Very stocky. Most of the Canadians I have been around have been on the stubborn side, and not a comfortable ride. A friend of mine fell in love with Canadians and bought one for herself...he is really unpersonable, and she didn't enjoy him much. They aren't for everyone, but seem to be rather straight forward horses.
I'm definitely a fan of the long rides as I said my true passion is endurance racing!! But, I would take an English saddle for sure as most western saddles give me sore hips.
