The Canadian Cutting Horse goes back to the same ancestors like the Quarter Horse, as well as. it descends from this. Somewhat later than in the USA, the construction of the beef-breeding, with what one profited from the experiences of the southern after-bars and concentrated on an improved method early, took place in Canada. Longhorns and mustangs didn't play any big role here, and the "game-west-romanticism" was repressed by economic considerations. So one began to breed a Canadian type of the Cow-ponys on the basis of the Quarter Horse, that is similar in all characteristics for this, if it also appears not so distinctive to bemuskelt. Also in Canada, rodeos are very popular, and the Canadian Cutting Horse finds in the work with the cows, but also in the mild Reittourismus its main tasks, its Cow-sense is strongly distinctive, it is quiet and dependable. With the Canadian Cutting Horse Association exists an official breeding-organization.
