The circular, yin yang-like design reflects on the breed's near-extinction and comeback; it also speaks to the many ways horses support our wellbeing. It is a powerful representation of a timeless bond between our species—two opposing yet complimentary forces that have moved forward as one.

Comment

"The Canadian horse is a largely unknown national treasure. Over the centuries, it has played a crucial role in the socio-economic development of the country; not only has it influenced agriculture, trade and transportation, but it has even participated in wars." Regent Lalonde, President, Upper Canada District Canadian Horse Breeders

"Inspired by equine therapy, I had the idea of presenting the horse as a mirror of our emotions. The artist has created an image of two horses that form a contrast, but one cannot exist without the other. They are independent entities that form a whole. Pascal Clément, CNC programmer - engraving, Royal Canadian Mint

Did you know?
-Horses connect with our emotions and imitate our behaviors, which can pave the way to healing. Equine therapy (hippotherapy, therapeutic riding, equine-facilitated wellness) is a way of improving the lives of many Canadians with physical or mental health problems. Therapy horses can help with physical rehabilitation exercises, reduce anxiety and restore self-confidence through positive interactions.
-The robust "little iron horse" is descended from the animals that were sent to New France in 1665. It is perfectly adapted to the Canadian climate - in fact, it has always been prized for its endurance and docility. Twice, this domestic breed almost died out forever: first towards the end of the 19th century (due to export and breeding practices), then in the 1960s and 1970s. At the height of the crisis, there were just 400 individuals left. Today, the breed is still threatened, but thanks to the work of breeders, its population is steadily increasing.

•Les chevaux se connectent à nos émotions et imitent nos comportements, ce qui peut ouvrir la voie à la guérison. La thérapie équine (hippothérapie, équitation thérapeutique, mieux-être facilité par les chevaux) est une façon d’améliorer la vie de nombreux Canadiens qui ont des problèmes de santé physique ou mentale. Les chevaux de thérapie peuvent aider aux exercices de réhabilitation physique, réduire l’anxiété et redonner confiance en soi par le biais d’interactions positives.
•Le robuste « petit cheval de fer » est le descendant des animaux qui ont été envoyés en Nouvelle-France en 1665. Il est parfaitement adapté au climat canadien – à vrai dire, il a toujours été prisé pour son endurance et sa docilité. Cette race domestique a failli, par deux fois, s’éteindre pour toujours : d’abord vers la fin du 19e siècle (à cause des pratiques d’exportation et d’élevage), puis dans les années 1960 et 1970. Au plus fort de la crise, on ne comptait plus que 400 individus. Aujourd’hui, la race est toujours menacée, mais grâce au travail d’éleveurs, sa population augmente constamment.
