The Canadian Warmblood is a Canadian breed or registry for warmblood sport horses. Its ancestry traces to European warmbloods. Stud-book admission requires both qualifying parentage and a Keuring or performance inspection. The listed height is 1.65 m, and the listed weight is 600 kg.

What it is

The Canadian Warmblood is a Canadian sport horse breed or registry with European warmblood ancestry.

Its stud-book recognizes horses through both pedigree and performance requirements.

How recognition works

A horse entering the stud-book must trace at least one ancestor to a list of twenty-five influential European warmblood stallions foaled from 1840 to 1926.

It must also pass a Keuring or a performance inspection.

Key points

The breed has a defined Canadian origin and a European warmblood foundation. Its recorded type is sport horse.

The listed height is 1.65 m, with a listed weight of 600 kg.

What to check

Recognition depends on both parentage and an inspection. A horse that does not meet either requirement would not satisfy the stated stud-book conditions.

The supplied facts do not describe temperament, care needs or health traits, so those points need separate confirmation.

Price

No purchase price or other cost is given in the supplied facts.

Who may want another breed

Readers seeking a Canadian sport horse with European warmblood ancestry may find this breed relevant. Those looking for another type can compare horse breeds from Canada or browse horse breeds.

Verdict

The Canadian Warmblood is defined by its Canadian roots, sport-horse classification and European warmblood ancestry. Its registry rules require both qualifying pedigree and a performance inspection.

Choose it when those origins and entry standards match your goals. Look elsewhere when you need information or traits outside the facts recorded here.
