From the editor’s desk<br />

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 />

Association News<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 />

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 />
