Epic Journey of the Canadian Horse

When Louis XIV decided to send some 80 horses to New France between 1665 and 1671, little did he know that he was launching a new indigenous race. Those first horses would adapt to their new environment in North America, multiply and develop in virtual isolation for almost a century. From their offspring originated the Canadien horse, one of the most versatile races in equestrian history.

Cand Ludovic al XIV-lea a decis sa trimita aproximativ 80 de cai in Noua Franta intre 1665 si 1671, nu stia prea putin ca lanseaza o noua rasa indigena. Acei primi cai s-ar adapta la noul lor mediu din America de Nord, s-ar inmulti si se vor dezvolta in izolare virtuala timp de aproape un secol.
