The Canadian Horse typically stands 14 – 16 hh and weighs 1000 – 1400 lb. Although most frequently black, they may also be dark brown, bay or chestnut. They are characterized by their finely chiseled heads, arched necks, and thick, long, wavy manes and tails – all reminiscent of their Barb and Andalusian ancestry. They have strong, sturdy legs and short cannon bones often exceeding 9” in circumference. Their feet are exceptionally well formed and tough, and generally require little more than routine trimming. Best of all, Canadian Horses are renowned for their kind, sensible, sociable natures, intelligence and willingness to please. |

Considered an exceptional children's mount, the Chincoteague Pony performs well in hunt seat, jumping, driving (with small carts, of course) and trail riding, under English or western saddle. The breed's often colorfully marked coat also makes it a particular favorite in pony halter classes, where its unique style and balanced conformation can be shown to the breed's greatest advantage.

The vast majority of Clydesdales are solid coloured bay or brown with four white legs, the long silky feathering around the feet being a distinctive feature, with soft, not coarse hair. As the white colouring was introduced for the legs, in some instances this "spread" and resulted in a roan animal, which for a time was frowned on by the purists. However, nowadays these animals have a much wider acceptance and indeed the main female prizewinner in 1997 at the Royal Highland Show was a roan mare. Most of the horses range in size from 16.2 to 18 hands and weigh between 1600 and 1800 lbs. Some of the mature stallions and geldings are taller and will weigh up to 2200 lbs.
