Fort McMurray Wildfire - Equine Update
Over the past several weeks, the AEF experienced an incredible outpouring of support from the equine community in Alberta, across Canada and even across the globe - all in effort to try and assist equines and equine owners affected by the wildfires of Fort McMurray. From the stories horse owners shared, to those who wanted to do anything and everything they could to help, we are proud of our community standing strong to help their fellow friends and equines.
As of May 24, 2016, the AEF had received of over $20,000 in donations from equine owners, industry contributors and those that simply wanted to help. Businesses and individuals stepped up to donate funds, hay and other items that were on the immediate needs list.

In Memorial: Dr. Gillian Lawrence (1932 - 2016)
| |
AEF is extremely sad to hear that Dr. Gillian Lawrence, a great supporter of the equestrian world passed away on May 31, 2016 at the age of 83. Our condolences to her family and friends.
Lawrence was one of the most instrumental, influential and inspiring people in Canadian equestrian sport. She dedicated her time and hands-on effort to therapeutic riding at the local, provincial, regional, national and international levels, and made long-standing and vast contributions to the therapeutic riding movement world-wide.
