How similar are the Candian Warmbloods to the American Warmbloods?
Alrighty, this might be a dumb question but… ah, well.
Is the Canadian Warmblood more of an actual BREED like other warmbloods are, or is it a crap-shot registry like the American Warmbloods?
Because the American Warblood Society pretty much accepts anything that’s part draft. I find it a little annoying, and I just want to know if the Candian Warmblood registry does the same thing, or if it is a more defined breed.
I saw a horse the other day that was one quarter percheron, and three fourths QH…. registered with the AWS…. I don’t consider that a warmblood…. it sort of irritates me. So it’s in my fear that the Canadian WB registry is pretty much the exact same thing as the American WB registry, only in Canada….
My understanding is that the Canadian Warmblood registry is much better about keeping high standards for the horses they register. In fact, I have heard of big name dressage riders going to Canada to horse shop since they are so impressed with the Canadian Warmbloods. They do seem to be a more established warmblood type.
You are correct that AWS will register just about anything. There may be some very nice horses that are AWS, but many of them are just mutts.
