Decline in Canada Horse Numbers Signals Shift to Mechanical Power
The 1923 25 period saw Canada’s total horses fall from 3,667,369 to 3,554,041, with prairie provinces hit hardest. Stallions in Ontario edged down to 3,512, while Saskatchewan halved from 13,519 to 6,326. Colts and fillies dropped across Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba, indicating a shrinking future horse supply as gas buggies, tractors, and trucks gain. Horse values have plunged to about half of 18 years ago amid rising prices for milk cows, sheep, and hogs.
