The Alberta Equestrian Federation (AEF) will host the 2013 Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian Championships (CIEC) in the Calgary area from Sept.13-15, 2013.

The entry process for riders and leased horses is currently being finalized and will be broadly shared by the AEF when it is complete.

The CIEC is a sanctioned Equine Canada competition and a collaborative event between the national and provincial sport organizations. It aims to develop the next generation of equestrian national and international champions. For more information about the CIEC, visit: www.cec-en.ca

"Health Flash will be a valuable tool to any horse owner as it provides very concise information to help keep on top of seasonal issues. Health Flash has the potential to have a positive economic impact on the industry as a whole as 'healthy horses' translate into a 'healthy industry'," says University of Guelph researcher, Dr. Kim McGurrin.

In addition to funding from Vétoquinol Canada and Merck Canada, investment in this project has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Canadian Agricultural Adaptation Program (CAAP). In Ontario, this program is delivered by the Agricultural Adaptation Council.  Other partners include the Canadian Animal Health Institute and the Ontario Veterinary College.
