Canadian's have long been ignored in the model horse hobby. It officially started in the U.S., but that doesn't mean other parts of the world didn't have some version of model horses. This series focuses on the Canadians who built the hobby from the ground up, nurtured it, changed it, and received no credit. This episode covered the pioneers - the first Canadian's to discover the hobby and spread the good word across the provinces.
