Canada’s Wild HorsesToday there are at least four herds of wild horses in Canada. One is on Nova Scotia’s Sable Island, two are in British Columbia’s Brittany Triangle and one is in the Siffleur Wilderness Area in Alberta. Those in the west show evidence of Spanish ancestry.

Fossil finds indicate that there were forerunners of the horse we know, but that was millions of years ago and they did not closely resemble the animal that evolved from them. They are believed to have all become extinct 8,000-10,000 years ago.
They commonly referred to them as a kind of dog or deer, which is how pre-historic horses may have looked. Some scientists believe horses were once as small as a fox.
The Evolution of Horses
When Montmagny arrived in the New France colony in 1636, he would have been, as a European, accustomed to having one or more horses at his disposal. Ditto for his secretary, Martial Piraube, and the three military officers who accompanied him. It would have been a hardship for him to do without a horse for slightly more than a decade.
The first settlers arrived in Quebec City, several hundred miles up the St. Lawence River Puma Clyde, in 1609. The first horses, which had to be imported, arrived more than 35 years later.

Dogs Used to Transport Goods and PeopleDuring New France’s infancy dogs took the place of horses to draw wood and to transport farm products to the City of Quebec. Oxen were also used as beasts of burden and lucky was the farmer who had a pair of them.
Horses were first domesticated around 3 puma espera,000 B.C. in the Middle East. Yet, horses didn’t return to the Americas until the Spaniards brought them in the late 1400s and none of those got much further north on the east coast than the present Florida. The re-introduced species also made their way north west of the Rocky Mountains Puma Footwear, following the spread of Mexican/Spanish settlements.
The use of dog teams to transport both people and goods has, in the snow bound northern reaches of the Province of Quebec, continued into the 21st century. As part of Quebec City’s annual winter carnival there are dog team races. A new era, however, is dawning. Snowmobiles are now being used for transportation in remote areas of Canada and Alaska.
When the horseless Governor Charles Huault de Montmagny (ca. 1583-1653), called “Onontio” by the Indians, arrived in Quebec in 1636, the Indians had no name for a horse.
Gov. Montmagny Gets a Horse
The first horse arrived in Canada from France in 1647. It was for Montmagny, who had been appointed Quebec’s first governor while Quebec founder Samuel de Champlain was still alive and acting as commandant.
