Welcome to Legacy Canadians
Version française, cliquez ici
We are located in the town of Mission, British Columbia, about 80 kms. east of Vancouver. We are a small operation with a big love for Canadian Horses. My husband Marty and I have owned other breeds of horses for most of our lives, but like many others, we were unaware that Canada had its own unique heritage breed until we were first introduced to the Canadian Horse in 1999. Then it was love at first sight. We were instantly captivated by the breed’s beauty, intelligence and resilience, and intrigued by its history.

Since that time our small farm has become home to eight purebred Canadian Horses and one part-bred. Like most horseowners, our summers are spent working and having fun with our horses, attending shows, going on trail rides, and expanding our facilities. Canadian Horses are like potato chips –you can’t have just one! Throughout the winter, I try to find as much time as I can to hunt down old books, articles, drawings and photographs – anything and everything to help unravel and share the history of this unique breed.
The Canadian Horse has played a vital role in the history and development of North america, and is a proud part of Canada's heritage. Along with breeding fine Canadian Horses, it is our goal to encourage more people to learn about our unique national treasure, and those who helped this rare foundation breed to survive.
We were very excited to have been part of the celebration of our breed's long overdue recognition for its role in the development of our country. In April, 2002, almost 350 years after arriving on our shores, the Canadian Horse was officially designated by law as the National Horse of Canada.
Visitors are always welcome at Legacy Canadians, even if you are just looking. Coffee is always on, and we love to show off our horses. But please call first, to make sure we will be home.
