I do alot of elk hunting in willmore wilderness park in the alberta rocky mountains. We've been using big quarterhorses to pack our camp in and our game out, they do a fine job but finding a quarter horse these days with good feet seems to be getting harder and harder. It seems they are breeding the foot out of the quarter horse for all that reining and cow horse events. We are now going to the Canadian horse. You probly never heard of it but it is a breed. They are exellent pack horses and riding horses for rocky mountain trails. They have great feet and a very nice temperment. We are fortunate to have a Canadian stud in our area, allowing us to breed our quarter horses with him, making an exceptional pack horse.
