Equine Canada Announces New Measures for Clean Sport
Ottawa, ON — The Equine Canada Medication Control Committee (EMCC) has announced new measures to deter abuse and overuse of drugs and medication in horses, to provide fairness to all participants, to protect the safety of competitors, to maintain the health and welfare of the horse and promote fair competitions.
The new standards issued the EMCC are the result of the analysis of several years of drug testing results in Canada. In keeping with its statement of principles, Equine Canada is broad- ening the scope of equine medication and anti-doping control to as many possible equestrian events in Canada.

The Head line screamed 2,253 entries for Quar- terama ‘76. It was the seventh annual show put on by the Ontario Quarter Horse Association.

For the first time the show hosted Canadian National Youth Teams from Quebec with 10 representatives, Saskatchewan with 7, Ontario with 12, Alberta 4, Maritimes 3, and the BC team had to with withdraw from the competition due to a serious illness of one of the three member team.

Dr. Larry Hench of Florida was experimenting with Bioglass to replace bones in Animals. He pre- dicted that “large portions of the human body would be more ceramic than man”. How right he was 30 years later and this a now common practice.
The new 2010 measures ensure that competitors can expect a stan- dardized frequency and level of test- ing at all Equine Canada sanctioned competitions. The 2010 Equine medi- cation control fees are $3.50 per horse entered in Bronze competitions and $7.00 for Silver and Gold competi- tions. Competitions will be randomly selected on annual basis to achieve the testing frequency targets.
Equine Canada encourages all equestrian sport in all disciplines to participate in anti-doping measures and fair medication control to safe- guard the health and welfare of all horses.

We are proud there has not been a positive test in the past two years in EC sanc- tioned competitions, and we want to maintain the cleanest possible sport. These new standards are part of an accountable, transparent and forward thinking program,” said EMCC com- mittee chair, Dr. Yves Rossier.
