I'm a different Jackie Cochran.  I would have thought I had died and gone to heaven if my Mother-in-law was an Arab breeder!  Arabs were soooo expensive back in the sixties and seventies, there was no way I could afford a purebreed.  Nowadays it is different, and I get to ride Arabs at the stable I take lessons at.  Yeah!!!!

No I've only been in Canada a few times, though I did get to camp with my parents in the Bay of Fundy National Park in 1964?  I remember how WONDERFUL the camping was up in Canada compared to the US National Parks, the lap of luxury up there!

We also went to Prince Edwards Island, I remember this because there was a pony on the ferry and his owner let me moon over him all the ferry ride.  Nothing special, just a mutt pony, but for an hour or two I thought he was wonderful since that was the longest I had ever been able to "talk" with a horse until I got my first horse.
