Horse Capital of Canada?
When Statistics Canada conducted a horse count survey in 2011, Strathcona County and the Edmonton region were crowned the Horse Capital of Canada! In 2018, CBC media outlet stated that Strathcona County has one of the highest per capita horse populations in Canada. That’s kind of cool, especially if you are fond of our tall four-footed friends.
Rural Strathcona County enjoys world class training facilities and top-notch horse breeders. Want to treat your animal-loving child to an amazing, unique birthday party? Try one of the birthday party packages that the local equine centres have to offer!
