The Alberta Horse,

                                 I have to chuckle to myself when I attend Clinics, hear speakers and other experts in the industry of USA come lecture Alberta Horse Owners on certain subjects that pertain to care or property managment. TRUST me it is not USA that is entertainment. But what in tar nationals makes anyone think that there is a comparisons. No insult to the US at all!

We have a different type of climate, pastures, conditions of grounds. many of the Clinics are mis named.

If they took inconsideration what -57 really was like, or 3 months of showing ONLY ... it is easy to over look the fact we have really good horses here in Canada, ALBERTA.

They are several great breeders here with outstanding horses.

Breed issues we bump into is Founding Breeds VS Modern Breeds

One lets go with the Morgan - Justin Morgan type - overall around 14 + hh, usually Black or Brown or can be other shades.

VS The Taller StandardBred - Saddlebred types - (USA)

The National Horse - Canadian - Founder Bred is another Morgan X that stands once again a little more than 14+hh  -

Once again the USA has brought in the height and feathers, bigger feet with intro of the Fresien Horse.

My opinion USA very much enjoys their VERY Flashy Breeds. That is a good thing! As long as the founder breeds are remembered.

This is my first yapping - lets hear anyone else's opinion!
