Canadian mountain mustangs or CMM's are a new breed of mustang that was found in the mountains of Canada. With fewer than 300 in existence we are just starting to learn about this rare species. Usually standing around 16hh these horses are a very muscular breed built for traveling across their mountain home. Many speculate that they are ancestors to the Quarter Horse or Thoroughbred, but this is yet to be proven. They are a hardy breed. With thick, stocky builds and strong hooves. There are no color restrictions, and they can be any realistic color. Appaloosas are common, as are chubari spots, birdcatcher spots, and bend or spots. Most of the horses in the adoption center have been previously gentled, however once every couple of months there will be round-ups of wild mustangs so keep your eye out!

These horses are amazingly quiet and can move through the forest without making a sound or being seen. How is because they have a special Ambling gait very similar to the Tölt. Using this, they can run quietly through the woods without being detected by predators. Many riders favor this because they can go for longer rides than other horse breeds without getting tired or hurting their back. With the increased endurance they are very famous in cross country and show jumping if you can find someone with the patience to train them. They are a very spirited breed and have a partial one rider gene in them making them nearly impossible to train but with time and patience they are worth every second.

Being a new breed they have been found to have many unique characteristics. One being their mane and tail. They have amazingly long manes that are almost never found above the fetlock. The only way it can be shorter is if it's a mutation or cut and styled by their rider. They are able to have other more extreme mutations besides a shorter mane but due to the small number of horses we don't know exactly what yet. They also unlike common horse breeds have amazing eye colors ranging from gold to blue to orange and even some red.

It was though that these horses came in any natural horse colors or markings. This is not the case. After further studies they have been found to not only come in any natural horse colors or markings but they also have unique markings known as bril or briling. Unrelated to brindle these stripe like markings can be as simple as a streak on the nose to as extensive as thick striping confused with tobiano. It's also not restricted to a specific flow and can be found in many patterns and designs. Briling has recently been found to come in many natural colors from one shade off of the base coat color to white on a black horse.

Recently discovered in old painting these horses where common rides for the past Indian tribes in the area. With there great endurance and muscular build they were great for traveling long distances and hunting. They would often be found painted by their riders as a way of identification. Further studies of these horses has lead to the discovery of a new protein in their hair which was named Slineca Protein. This protein not only makes color stand out on a dark coat but bonds to dye making it last for several months without fading. This made it easier for the Indians being that they only had to repaint them every couple months. Soon after this discovery it became very famous among modern riders, especially for competition and showing purposes.
