Import Restrictions Lifted for Horses from Arizona Entering Canada due to Vesicular Stomatitis
Ottawa, ON—Equine Canada’s Breeds & Industry Division and Health & Welfare Committee would like to inform all stake- holders that effective immediately the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has lifted their restrictions for horses from Arizona.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has completed their investigation of the Vesicular Stom- atitis outbreak and lifted all quarantines at the beginning of July. Horses of American origin from the state of Arizona will again be allowed to enter Canada under the same import conditions as before the out- break, and Canadian horses returning from Arizona will no longer have to satis- fy any additional requirements related to this outbreak.
entered and customized import require- ments will be provided.
Current import requirements for equidae entering Canada may be found using the CFIA Automated Import Refer- ence System (AIRS) at http://airs-
sari.inspection.gc.ca. To determine specif- ic import requirements for each horse, specific parameters that refer to each horse’s circumstances will need to be
Vesicular stomatitis is a disease that primarily affects cattle, horses and swine, and occasionally sheep and goats. Humans can be exposed to the virus when handling affected animals but rarely become infected. Vesicular stomatitis causes blister-like lesions in the mouth and on the dental pad, tongue, lips, nos- trils, hooves, and teats. These blisters swell and break, leaving raw tissue that is so painful that infected animals show signs of lameness and generally refuse to eat and drink which results in severe weight loss. There is risk of secondary infection of the open wounds. Animals usually recover within two weeks. While vesicular stomatitis can cause economic losses to livestock producers, it is a partic- ularly important disease because its out- ward signs are similar to—although gen- erally less severe than—those of foot-and- mouth disease, which horses are not sus- ceptible to. The only way to distinguish among these diseases in livestock other than horses is through laboratory tests.
The mechanisms by which vesicular stomatitis spreads are not fully known; insect vectors, mechanical trans- mission, and movement of animals are probably responsible. Once introduced into a herd, the disease apparently moves from animal to animal by contact or expo- sure to saliva or fluid from ruptured lesions. Historically, outbreaks of vesicu- lar stomatitis have occurred in southwest- ern United States during warm months and particularly along river ways. Howev- er, outbreaks are sporadic and unpre- dictable. (Source: USDA)

Equine Canada Seeks a Manager of Recreation
Ottawa, Ontario— Equine Canada is very pleased to announce that they are seeking an energetic, well organized professional to fill the newly created position of manager of recreation at the national office in Ottawa.
The new, full-time position was created as a direct result of Equine Canada’s national reform process, and will enable the feder- ation to directly serve Canada’s recreational equestrian communi- ty, the largest group of horse own- ers, riders and drivers in the coun- try.
“This is a milestone in Cana- dian equestrianism. For the first time, our country’s national equestrian federation will be able to set aside the human and fiscal resources to advance the interests of our largest constituency. Approximately 80 per cent of all Canadian equestrians are involved primarily in recreational pursuits, rather than competitive or com- mercial activities,” said Akaash Maharaj, Equine Canada’s CEO. “Our new capacity to serve their needs will be a fundamental leap forward in our ability to serve

following a big oxer. They were both also penalised for exceeding the time limit. But considering the other riders’ performances, all hopes were still alive to finish in the top ten.
Consisting of a 7-obstacle run (including a double combina- tion followed by the infamous oxer preceding the vertical), the jump-off promised to be challeng- ing for all three riders. Jonathon McCrea clocks out with a 39.58 seconds time, but lowers a rail. Kelly Koss performs the best time, yet garners two jumping faults. The road is then clear for Sarah Johnstone and her horse Leonidas. Taking her time, she performs a flawless run in 44.11 seconds.
Currently holding 3rd and
Canadian equestrianism itself.” Under the leadership of the chief operating officer, the man- ager of recreation will create a new department of Recreation for Equine Canada. The successful candidate will plan, lead, coordi- nate and evaluate the operations and delivery of the Equine Cana- da’s recreation activities. They will also spearhead the creation and development of new recre- ation programs, initiatives and procedures; recommend, imple- ment and monitor recreation and equine health and welfare poli- cies; and serve as the primary staff liaison for the Recreation Council and the Equine Health and Welfare Committee.
Please visit the Employment section of the Equine Canada website at
www.equinecanada.ca for a complete job description and application deadlines for the new manager of recreation position.

7th place in the Eastern Divi- sion’s preliminary standings, the young Sarah Johnstone added pre- cious points in today’s outing. In the Western Division, Kelly Koss is also doing well with her third place ranking. Holding the 7th and 8th spot, Québec natives François Lamontagne and Isabelle Lapierre are still in the Talent Squad Series running. With five qualifying rounds remaining (3 in Ontario, 2 in Québec), all those riders have coveted points still to gather towards the National
