This is our annual awards issue<br />
and are there ever a lot of<br />
winning <strong>Morgan</strong>s out there!<br />
I’d like to thank everyone<br />
who sent in photos for the awards, we<br />
have some really nice shots this year.<br />
This is also the time of year when some<br />
mare owners start thinking of breeding. If<br />
you’re in the market for a beautiful <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
stud to breed to your mare, be sure to<br />
read the stallion advertisements in this issue.<br />
The professional breeders advertised<br />
within these pages would welcome your<br />
business.<br />
If you’re not planning on breeding this<br />
year or expecting a bouncing baby foal in<br />
the coming months, spring is still a time<br />
full of anticipation... for that first riding<br />
clinic (be sure to check out Page 33) or<br />
that first horse show. If it’s the showring<br />
that you’re anxiously waiting for to dry<br />
out, then be sure to flip to Page 28 to read<br />
about some important Equine Canada information<br />
that could impact you.<br />
We also welcome quite a few new members<br />
in this issue, so, if you’re a newbie,<br />
“welcome aboard,” we’re very proud to<br />
have you as part of our association!<br />
Oh, and if you just can’t wait for spring<br />
to arrive, there’s always the CMHA video<br />
library where you can rent anything from<br />
tapings of interviews with top <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
trainers to general horse care (see Page<br />
13) for the selection available.<br />
Until next time,<br />
Happy riding... and reading!<br />
Cindy<br />

President’s Message<br />
Staying afloat in unchartered waters<br />
I<br />
have been most fortunate to have members contact me by email and<br />
telephone providing feedback, input and discussion about various<br />
topics and issues facing the CMHA board and the <strong>Morgan</strong> horse<br />
in Canada. We are living in “uncharted waters” at the present time<br />
with a surplus of horses of all breeds and economies both north and south of<br />
the 49th parallel that are struggling some, or a lot, depending on the area.<br />
To receive input and support from our members is crucial to developing<br />
plans and strategies to move forward and remain viable. I recently had<br />
a member call to chat who has been a major breeder for many years. One<br />
of the topics that came up during our discussion was that breeders are the<br />
backbone of the CMHA. This is absolutely true: our association’s purpose is<br />
to provide and maintain an accurate accounting of the pedigrees of <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
horses in Canada. In other words: a registry. Without breeders who continue<br />
to register foals, transfer animals to new owners and support the registry, we<br />
wouldn’t have a purpose. We also wouldn’t have much money to carry on<br />
with the other things that we do.<br />
Many <strong>Morgan</strong> breeders in Canada have been breeding animals for 30 to<br />
40 years and are getting to the age where they are cutting back or ceasing<br />
breeding all together. The CMHA is losing two things through these cut<br />
backs. First, the vast knowledge and experience these people possess, and<br />
secondly, the money they have spent for many years that has supported and<br />
maintained the CMHA.<br />
Another contact was a short note and a cheque from 40- year CMHAmember<br />
breeders, owners and show people Sheldon and Miriam Selk from<br />
Claresholm, AB. I<br />
called Miriam immediately<br />
to thank her for<br />
the donation. Her note<br />
in part read: “Enclosed<br />
is our donation toward<br />
the Canadian <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
Horse Association.<br />
What have we done<br />
today? We are helping,<br />
we believe in the <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
horse!”<br />
Sheldon and Miriam are no longer active breeders but, as noted, they<br />
believe in the <strong>Morgan</strong> horse and want to help, and their donation was a way<br />
that they could do this.<br />
We can contribute in different ways. If we have a strong belief in the<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> horse and a desire to help the registry survive in difficult times, we<br />
can all find ways to help. I am inspired by the concerns, thoughts and ideas<br />
I have received from members.<br />
We have a dedicated group serving on our board of directors. It is essential<br />
that members provide support, verbally and financially, and positive<br />
feedback with solutions that we can use at the board level.<br />
What we conceive and believe, we can achieve.<br />
Administrator’s Message<br />
This is the time of year<br />
when we celebrate<br />
our hard-working trail<br />
horses, our athletic<br />
versatile horses and our elegant<br />
show horses. Whatever it is that<br />
rocks your world with your <strong>Morgan</strong>,<br />
we have a category to honour<br />
your accomplishments! Thank<br />
you to everyone who participated<br />
in our awards system in 2010.<br />
Here are a few statistics:<br />
Photo by Joy Photography • 101 purebred <strong>Morgan</strong> horses<br />
entered points into the Show High<br />
Point.<br />
• 1 part-<strong>Morgan</strong> entered points into the Show High Point.<br />
• 9 Junior riders submitted equitation points.<br />
• 6 horses entered points into the Trail High Point.<br />
• 21 horses entered points for their Versatile <strong>Morgan</strong> Medallion awards.<br />
There are two <strong>Morgan</strong>s representing both coasts that deserve special<br />
recognition. In the West, BMF Spartacus earned his PLATINUM Versatile<br />
Award for owner Aren-Dina Popadiuk. Dina hails from Maple Ridge, BC,<br />
and primarily competes with her gelding in combined driving events. Congratulations<br />
Dina on your accomplishments with BMF Spartacus!<br />
In the East we have a stallion and his lady, who have accomplished what<br />
only four other horses have done so far. Dawn Brown and her husband Walter<br />
from Collina, NB, own the beautiful stallion <strong>Amadeus</strong> <strong>Mozart</strong> <strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong>*<br />
and they are being recognized for earning a SUPREME <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> Honour.<br />
To earn a <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong>, you must earn eight <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
honours in four different categories. He has earned JMs in Pleasure Driving,<br />
Hunter Pleasure, English General Purpose and Driving General Purpose.<br />
“Moe” is used primarily for carriage driving, but has certainly demonstrated<br />
that he is a multi-purpose horse.<br />
<strong>Amadeus</strong> <strong>Mozart</strong> <strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong>* is now entitled to use an asterisk after his<br />
name and is in good company with these fine <strong>Morgan</strong>s: Honnalee Chante*,<br />
Jalna Valiant*, Adanac Halla’s Dawn* and Bonnie Lee’s Cupid*. A special<br />
presentation will be done in the spring to honour “Moe” at a show in New<br />
Brunswick. Congratulations Walter and Dawn!<br />
The year 2010 was unusual because we changed the high point by offering<br />
new categories for Dressage, Hunter/Jumper and broke apart the<br />
Driving General Purpose division. We certainly hope these divisions will<br />
grow by leaps and bounds in 2011. If you are out there riding your <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
or part-<strong>Morgan</strong> at open hunter/jumper shows or dressage competitions or<br />
driving in carriage shows, contact me to see how you can get involved in<br />
the CMHA high point. It would be an honour to recognize your special and<br />
talented <strong>Morgan</strong> or part-<strong>Morgan</strong>.<br />

Registry News<br />
The CMHA board is so pleased with the amount of older <strong>Morgan</strong>s being<br />
registered due to the previous moratorium, that the board has created a<br />
new moratorium to continue registering older <strong>Morgan</strong>s at a discount. The<br />
CMHA will accept <strong>Morgan</strong>s two years and older into the registry at a 25%<br />
discount of the current fee schedule until December 31, 2011.<br />

Heaven Sent:<br />
<strong>Amadeus</strong> <strong>Mozart</strong> <strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong>*<br />
by Dawn Brown<br />
with assistance from Nan Holden & Peggy Lareau<br />
It all began in 1994, when Reverend David Keith, of New<br />
Brunswick, asked me, Dawn Brown, if I would take the<br />
unborn foal his mare, <strong>Amadeus</strong> Nekomia Ash, was carrying<br />
as payment for schooling his two <strong>Morgan</strong>s. After<br />
talking it over with my husband, Walter, I agreed. Our thoughts<br />
were to sell the foal, or if it suited us, to keep it as a horse for our<br />
two children. We never dreamed that unborn foal would be our<br />
horse of a lifetime.<br />
We first met the tiny, shy, mousy gray colt a few hours after<br />
his birth in a small barn behind a little Baptist church in Lower<br />
Millstream, New Brunswick. It was the frosty morning of an<br />
Easter weekend, April 15, 1995. There he was! We were now the<br />
owners of a special, 100% <strong>Li</strong>ppitt <strong>Morgan</strong>. What a surprise—I<br />
had never, ever fancied that I would own a <strong>Morgan</strong>. Having spent<br />
many years working at the race track, I had planned to adopt a<br />
retired Thoroughbred. I knew little of the <strong>Li</strong>ppitt line, which<br />
contains a high percentage of blood dating to Figure, the stallion<br />
who founded the <strong>Morgan</strong> breed.<br />
We named him <strong>Amadeus</strong> <strong>Mozart</strong> <strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong>*. With “<strong>Amadeus</strong>”<br />
(Latin for Love of God) being the breeder’s prefix and, with my<br />
love of music, “<strong>Mozart</strong>” was an easy choice. “<strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong>” became<br />
our prefix, chosen for our two<br />
children, Aaron and <strong>Li</strong>la. Moe,<br />
as we call him, is by Jake Mint,<br />
a <strong>Li</strong>ppitt <strong>Morgan</strong> stallion bred<br />
in Maine by Marshall Winkler, a<br />
geneticist who worked in the field<br />
of horticulture, but who had a passion<br />
for the <strong>Morgan</strong> horse.<br />
Moe came to live at our <strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong><br />
Acres in Collina when he was<br />
weaned at four months. We have<br />
45 acres there and it was to be set<br />
up as a small boarding stable with,<br />
of course, one horse for me. Then<br />
along came Moe, who progressed<br />
to be far more than “one horse.”<br />
Rev. Keith kept talking on about<br />
Moe’s bloodlines and potential as<br />
a stallion.<br />
I picked his conformation and<br />
disposition apart often, as having<br />
a stallion was not in our plans<br />
and would be a major decision. Fortunately, we decided to delay gelding<br />
Moe until he gained some age and we could see what we had. He learned<br />
fast, was respectful and grew to be very handsome and has so remained a<br />
stallion.<br />
We first showed Moe in the foal class at the New Brunswick <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
Horse Show. He was second in a class of two. It was not a brilliant start,<br />
but a great learning experience. <strong>Morgan</strong>s were a new breed for us. Walter<br />
had grown up on a farm with draft horses. He drove his first teams at age<br />
six. Well, the horses were pretty much on cruise control in the hay field as<br />
his father loaded hay. I had owned and shown Quarter Horses. After this<br />
first <strong>Morgan</strong> show, Walter commented, “I think we are in trouble now.”<br />
Walter knew we had both enjoyed the show. The competitors were friendly<br />

Walter and Dawn Brown preparing <strong>Amadeus</strong> <strong>Mozart</strong><br />
<strong>Ara</strong> <strong>Li</strong>* (a.k.a. Moe) for the 2003 Sunrise Summer<br />
Classic.<br />
<strong>Amadeus</strong> <strong>Mozart</strong> <strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong>* with Carol Potts, <strong>Li</strong>la, Aaron, Walter and Dawn<br />
Brown at the <strong>Li</strong>ppitt of the Year presentation at the <strong>Li</strong>ppitt Country Show in<br />
Tunbridge, Vermont.<br />
and having fun, but don’t think for one minute they were not<br />
competitive.<br />
We continued showing Moe In-Hand as a yearling and a<br />
two-year-old with some success, even bringing home a few<br />
<strong>Champion</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> Stallion ribbons. We were driving him at<br />
two, so we entered him in a class. Our goal was to get around<br />
the ring and come out alive.<br />
He was very sensible, settled in to new surroundings<br />
well, and loved to travel. He would stand and wait patiently<br />
between classes, resting—even sleeping—in harness or when<br />
I was sitting on him. As soon as he went in the ring, though,<br />
he puffed up and exuded energy. He seemed to save every bit<br />
of it for the show ring.<br />
We found the New Brunswick <strong>Morgan</strong> Club members<br />
were helpful, friendly and loved their <strong>Morgan</strong>s. Over time,<br />
we became very involved with the club and were taking Moe<br />
to horse fairs and expos to represent the <strong>Morgan</strong> breed. Moe<br />
became very well known in the province. People were taken<br />
by the fact that he was a stallion, yet so quiet. We also went<br />
in parades, on group trail rides, pleasure drives and took part<br />
in fun events including CDE, horse trials and hunter paces.<br />
They say it takes a real man to wear pink, and he proved it<br />
by taking part in several Rides for the Cure (Breast Cancer<br />
fundraisers), decked out for the occasion.<br />
In 1997, we enrolled Moe in the Canadian <strong>Morgan</strong> Horse Association<br />
Awards and Versatile <strong>Morgan</strong> Medallion Award system.<br />
Not knowing much about showing the <strong>Morgan</strong> horse, we started him in<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> Pleasure Driving, eventually discovering Carriage Driving was<br />
where he would shine. His favourite thing of all is Obstacle Driving. I<br />
think he finds it much more interesting than going around in a circle. Under<br />
saddle, he was started Western and did respectably in the division, even<br />
winning a couple of championship classes. But with the big trot he was<br />
developing, English seemed to be the best direction to point him in. Indeed,<br />
he went on to win many <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> Standard Classes.
Moe used his talents to earn his <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
Medallions. In 2001 Moe received two <strong>Justin</strong><br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> Medallions, with 1000 points in the<br />
Pleasure Driving and Driving General Purpose<br />
(Carriage) Divisions. To date, he has received a<br />
total of five <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> Medallions for Driving<br />
General Purpose. In 2006, he received the<br />
Superior <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> Honour for performance,<br />
by earning 4000 points in a single division. In<br />
2008, the <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> Medallion came for the<br />
division English General Performance, which is<br />
basically anything in English tack, except <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
Hunter Seat Pleasure.<br />
The last and most difficult division for us to<br />
conquer was Hunter Seat Pleasure. The judging<br />
trend had favoured horses with more action placing<br />
above those like Moe who traveled long and<br />
low. I believe a gentle reminder sent out from<br />
the AMHA to judges encouraging them to move<br />
away from this helped us last year. A change<br />
to a Pelham bit and a few good lessons using it<br />
helped as well.<br />
In 2010, he earned the balance of points<br />
needed, and he even won a championship class.<br />
This last <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> added up to four <strong>Justin</strong><br />
<strong>Morgan</strong>s in four different divisions which means<br />
a Superior <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> Honour for Versatility.<br />
These, added to the four he already had, captured<br />
the <strong>Supreme</strong> 8,000 points in at least four different<br />
divisions. The <strong>Supreme</strong> has been a goal for us,<br />
and he has earned it.<br />
<strong>Amadeus</strong> <strong>Mozart</strong> <strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong>* is the fifth <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
to receive the <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Justin</strong> <strong>Morgan</strong> Honours<br />
since the system was established in 1973. This<br />
achievement allows the placement of an asterisk<br />
(*) after his name as recognition.<br />
In the Versatile <strong>Morgan</strong> Medallion program<br />
he has received the certificate Silver and Gold<br />
medallions.<br />
<strong>Amadeus</strong> <strong>Mozart</strong> <strong>Ara</strong>-<strong>Li</strong>* has also been named<br />
<strong>Li</strong>ppitt of the Year three times by The <strong>Li</strong>ppitt<br />
Club, selected as the <strong>Li</strong>ppitt <strong>Morgan</strong> who has<br />
generated the greatest amount of favourable notice<br />
for the <strong>Li</strong>ppitt <strong>Morgan</strong> in the preceding year.<br />
He also received from the <strong>Li</strong>ppitt Club the Allen<br />
Major’s Award for competition. We traveled to<br />
Tunbridge, Vermont, twice to attend the <strong>Li</strong>ppitt<br />
Country Show and receive these awards in person.<br />
While there—in a pilgrimage of sorts—we<br />
visited the farm where Figure is buried.<br />
We consider Moe “home schooled,” as he<br />
has never had any professional training. He has<br />
always had a lot of “go” and road trot appears to<br />
be his favourite gait. Containing the impulsion<br />
and keeping it coming from the right end, has<br />
sometimes proven difficult.<br />
He is smart and quickly learns the judge’s<br />
order of gaits, if they are always in the same<br />
order. As many know, anticipation can be a terrible<br />
problem. With him, that darn well-known<br />
“<strong>Morgan</strong> Jig” will emerge.<br />
Being a stallion, he doesn’t like other horses<br />
in his space. In Carriage they can’t get too<br />
close, but under saddle if they do, he gets a little<br />
cranky. This is not a good picture in a pleasure<br />
class. He likes to work, and at home when I am<br />
doing things with the other horses he becomes<br />
jealous. The first time I noticed this, I wasn’t sure<br />
what was happening. He started making some<br />
pretty nasty looking faces at me. The solution<br />
was to shut the barn door so he could not see the<br />
ring.<br />
We raised four <strong>Morgan</strong>s sired by Moe and feel<br />
successful as small breeders, having sold three in<br />
tough economic times to very fine homes. They<br />
are in Halifax, Nova Scotia; Rolla, Missouri; and<br />
Las Vegas, Nevada. The fourth one we plan to<br />
keep, with no plans to breed any more.<br />
At 14.2, I have often called Moe our “little big<br />
horse,” as he has a huge heart and, like the original<br />
Figure, will rise up to any challenge. He is<br />
very special to our family. <strong>Li</strong>la once said that he<br />
is like a little brother. Moe and I have a special<br />
bond; I often feel he thinks I am his mother. He<br />
is our horse of a lifetime and the achievements<br />
with him have been very rewarding. We did it<br />
together.<br />

Who’s on the Front Cover?<br />
From my earliest remembered encounter with horses at three<br />
years of age when I ran into the house crying, (only for my<br />
mother to discover that I had a perfect pony foal hoof print<br />
on my forehead) to riding sawhorses, I have always been<br />
passionate about horses. We always had horses, my mother and maternal<br />
grandmother rode, as well as my father who also worked the fields with<br />
horses. But I never had a <strong>Morgan</strong> until I was a mother myself.<br />
Our first <strong>Morgan</strong> was DVF Lonesome Dove. She was a remarkable<br />
English horse, and when I had decided to buy a <strong>Morgan</strong> for myself, I<br />
wanted to purchase a horse with similar bloodlines. Northern Exposure<br />
is sired by Southerly Conowingo, the same sire as Dove. So begins the<br />
journey of Robin (Northern Exposure) and Kathy.<br />
Robin epitomizes the qualities of the <strong>Morgan</strong> breed, but more than any<br />
other quality is his heart and mind. In 2008, Robin was Reserve World<br />
<strong>Champion</strong> Fourth Level Dressage horse while at the same show crowned<br />
National <strong>Champion</strong> Amateur English Trail Horse and National <strong>Champion</strong><br />
Amateur Western Trail. He also placed Top Ten in Amateur Western<br />
Pleasure. Quite an accomplishment for one horse, ridden and trained by Northern Exposure with some of his “villagers.”<br />
an amateur and a true example of the versatility of the <strong>Morgan</strong> breed.<br />
In 2009, Robin was severely injured, but in his heart he was still a show horse. After a year-and-a-half off, and under the direction of Michelle<br />
Hanson of Spiritwood <strong>Ara</strong>bians, we began the rehab process. The first show in 2010 was good, but as the season progressed, Robin was coming<br />
into stride. The muscle that was 75% severed, gained strength, and with patience and great coaching, we had a very successful year. Robin was<br />
undefeated in Trail and was making his presence felt in the Western Pleasure ring that culminated with him winning the Amateur Western Pleasure<br />
<strong>Champion</strong>ship at the Alberta <strong>Morgan</strong> Horse Show.<br />
They say that it takes a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to produce a champion horse and I would like to thank some villagers:<br />
Michelle Hanson, coach extraordinaire; Morris Stewart, DVM; Marty Stapleton, farrier; the Red Deer Groom Team; and my family, who always<br />
have encouraged me to pursue my passion with horses and, of course, one great <strong>Morgan</strong>, Northern Exposure, who makes every ride enjoyable.<br />
This great horse, who “never says never,” was recognized on January 26, 2010, as Equine Canada’s Breed Sport <strong>Morgan</strong> of the Year for 2010 at a<br />
National Awards Gala at the National Art Centre in Ottawa.<br />

Don’t be surprised this show season!<br />
Read this important Equine Canada information<br />
1. Motion passed at the last Convention: All owners of Canadian owned<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong>s must hold a current CMHA membership to compete in the<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> division at an EC sanctioned horse show.<br />
2. A <strong>Morgan</strong> Walk Trot Division has been added to the rule book for this<br />
year.<br />
within the context of the Instructor or Beginner certificate.<br />
5. Question asked about leasing a horse - the registered (with CLRC) lessee<br />
of a horse is consider the “owner” of the horse and for <strong>Morgan</strong> competition<br />
purposes is required to have a CMHA membership as well as an EC<br />
and/or provincial membership.<br />
3. EC memberships are required to show at an EC show, including within<br />
provinces who have decided to not join EC (these include Alberta,<br />
Saskatchewan, Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI and Newfoundland/Labrador).<br />
A provincial membership is not required to show at EC shows in these<br />
provinces. Our <strong>Morgan</strong> rules are printed in the EC Rule Book and to be<br />
used, the show must affiliate with EC. Rule Book copies can be ordered<br />
from the EC office at $15/Section or printed off the Web site at no<br />
charge. Section B Breeds contains the <strong>Morgan</strong> Rules.<br />
4. EC Amateurs may hold an Instructor of Beginner certificate and teach<br />
6. Shoe bands and turnbuckles are now allowed; this will align our rule<br />
with the AMHA.<br />
7. Amateur card: Note, if showing Amateur in the US, the EC Amateur card<br />
is usually accepted but, you may be asked to apply for a USEF Amateur<br />
card or to sign a waiver. There are a few differences between the USEF<br />
and EC Amateur rules.<br />
8. If you have questions or concerns, please Contact Cecilia Watson, Chair,<br />
CMHA EC Committee. CM<br />

Equine Foundation of Canada grant<br />
supports equine dentistry<br />
Charlottetown, P.E.I.—A generous donation from the Equine<br />
Foundation of Canada has allowed the Atlantic Veterinary College<br />
(AVC) at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI)<br />
to purchase new equipment for equine dentistry and laryngeal<br />
surgery.<br />
Equine dentistry should be a routine part of preventive health care for<br />
horses, says Dr. Wendy Duckett, Associate Professor of Large Animal<br />
Medicine at AVC. An important dental procedure for horses is floating, the<br />
process of gently filing sharp edges and/or overgrowths on a horse’s teeth.<br />
Because a horse’s teeth keep erupting throughout their lives, they need to<br />
be filed—or floated—regularly. If not, the teeth can develop sharp enamel<br />
points that can cause painful sores in the animal’s mouth, making eating or<br />
wearing a bridle painful.<br />
With this grant from the Equine Foundation of Canada, AVC has purchased<br />
a Powerfloat, a mechanized dental device for floating horses’ teeth,<br />
as well as new hand floats equipped with tungsten carbide blades.<br />
“Mechanized dentistry floats can safely and quickly deal with routine<br />
dental procedures as well as problems such as abnormal tooth overgrowth,”<br />
says Duckett.<br />
The grant from the Equine Foundation of Canada has also allowed the<br />
College to purchase instruments used in equine laryngeal surgery.<br />
Horses may develop a partial paralysis of the larynx, which causes<br />
obstruction of airflow, says Dr. Art Ortenburger, Associate Professor of<br />
Surgery at AVC. For many horses, the safest treatment is an outpatient<br />
procedure performed while the horse is awake. This procedure requires two<br />
very long and thin instruments that pass through the horse’s nose to grip the<br />
vocal cords, which are then trimmed by a laser under endoscopic guidance.<br />
“This treatment is particularly good for the larger draft horse breeds,”<br />
says Dr. Ortenburger. “The relative safety of this procedure for those heavy<br />
horses is much, much better, compared to putting them under general anesthesia.<br />
As with any better way to treat an animal, students will learn that this<br />
is possible for draft horses which have this problem, and all will benefit.”<br />
The Equine Foundation of Canada aids and promotes the health and<br />
welfare of horses across Canada. Past support from the foundation allowed<br />
Dr. Art Ortenburger, Associate Professor of Surgery at the Atlantic<br />
Veterinary College and Dr. Wendy Duckett, Associate Professor of<br />
Large Animal Medicine display the new equipment for laryngeal surgery<br />
and equine dentistry purchased by AVC with a generous grant<br />
from the Equine Foundation of Canada. Looking on is Hooligan the<br />
horse.<br />
AVC to establish its equine chiropractic service.<br />
Established in 1986, the Atlantic Veterinary College is committed to<br />
improving the health and well-being of animals and humans through excellence<br />
in education, discovery, professional practice and dedicated service to<br />
the four Atlantic provinces. In 2011 the college celebrates its 25th anniversary<br />
as the veterinary college serving Atlantic Canada.<br />
