Taking the horse drawn wagon or sleigh ride, depending on the season, is a great way to quickly see the majority of the farm property. Ross Farm is open in the winter months also on the weekends.

The Canadian is Canada's national horse. One promoter of the breed insists that they can do everything but dance. It is an ancient and historic breed and astonishingly, it nearly became extinct. At present the Canadian is considered to be recovering. Less than 250 Canadian horses were in Canada in 1990. According to Rare Breeds Canada, the horse is currently in the midst of an upsurge in popularity and is gaining in numbers. As of the end of 2008 there were over 12,000 registered Canadian Horses.

Some of the best qualities of the Canadian are its strength, willingness to work, and its small food requirements, able to thrive on anything or almost nothing, making it ideal for early farmers. At the same time it is long-lived and still useful at an advanced age. Some are known to have attained record ages. Mares are extraordinarily fertile, having a longer breeding life than other breeds. A Canadian mare can reproduce regularly until the age of 20 or even older and foals are comparatively easy to raise.

In height Canadians are usually not more than 15 hands high, weighing an average of 1,100 lbs. Described as quiet, easy to train and relaxed, they have wide foreheads, clear intelligent eyes and fine muzzle. Characteristically, the horse displays a strong, well arched neck and a deep wide chest. They are noticeably different from other horses mostly because of their size.
