Английская Википедия:Canadian Sport Horse
The Canadian Sport Horse is a studbook of sport horses managed in Canada. These horses are crossbred between Thoroughbred stallions and local, Canadian-bred mares. It was formerly known as the Canadian Hunter; a breed society was formed in 1926. The breed name was changed in 1984.
The Canadian Sport Horse is intended for equestrian sport competitions, especially show jumping and dressage. It is a distinct and separate breed from both the Canadian and the Canadian Warmblood.[1]
History
The English lieutenant Dan Lysons mentioning the jumping ability of Canadian horses in 1893.[2][3]
The Canadian Hunter was the result of half-blood crosses between local Canadian mares and Thoroughbred stallions,[1] including 16 imported from England to Ontario by the Canadian Racing Association.[2][4] In 1926, the Canadian Hunter, Saddle and Light Horse Improvement Society was founded.[5][4] A studbook was opened in 1928 to register the founding mares. In 1933, the Canadian Hunter Society was amalgamated, and the Canadian Hunter studbook was maintained.[4]
At the beginning of the twentieth century many of these horses were sold to the United States, where they were used for show jumping and hunter seat.[2][4] Others were sent to Europe as part of the World War II.[2][4] In 1920, the Canadian federal government became involved in horse breeding, with the aim of obtaining a uniform type of horse weighing around 550 kg.[6]
The studbook was renamed in 1984 to include the designation 'Sport Horse'.[4][7] The name change was registered the following year in the Official Trademark Journal.[8] The breed was renamed Canadian Sport Horse in 1987.[9][4]
Many of the horses are in Ontario.[2][10] Numbers were growing in 2014.[9]
Characteristics
Height at the withers must be no less than 1.62 m for registered in the studbook.[1][11]
This horse is close to English and Irish Hunters,[9] showing a clear Thoroughbred influence, with a solid build and fluid movements.[2][12] The eyes are large, the neck length proportional to the body.[7] The chest is broad and the shoulder sloping.[7]
Its nutritional requirements are greater than those of the Canadian horse.[13]
The coat is plain, generally bay (including bay-brown), chestnut, black or gray.[7][9] pinto and cream are possible, as are palomino and cremello.[7][12]
Selection
Selection is managed by the Canadian Sport Horse Association, which describes the Canadian Sport Horse as an "evolving" breed, whose existence is closely linked to selection objectives.[14] Horses are registered by inspection.[5][1] Young horses are shown at model and gait competitions, including the prestigious Royal Horse Show, where an expert (e.g., a veterinarian) is appointed to evaluate them.[15] The association looks for powerful horses with good jumping ability,[9] suitable for all three Olympic equestrian sports.[14] Particular attention is paid to gaits, which must show balance and drive.[7] Stallion selection is particularly rigorous.[7]
The studbook association, Canadian National Live Stock Records, is based in Ottawa, Ontario.[4] Mares that do not belong to the Canadian Sport Horse registry can be registered on an appendix list.[7]
Use
This is a sport horse, used under saddle and in equestrian sports.[3] It is ridden in show jumping, dressage, eventing and hunter competitions;[4] it is also used for foxhunting and carriage driving.[2]
