Kicking Cowgirl Designs Gallops Over To Bolton Street


Bobcaygeon, Ont — Kicking Cowgirl Designs (KCD), who recently won Best Western Boutique in North America beating out Western Stores in predomi- nant states like California, Texas, and Arizona, is on the move. KCD started 5 years ago selling at rodeos, fairs and plowing matches with its mandate to raise money for kids feeding and sports programs in Africa, along with sending kids to camp in Ontario. Today 20% of its profits are still


donated back to kids’ organizations, and after 3 years in its first 800 sq. ft retail store on King Street in Bobcaygeon, KCD will be occupying double the re- tail space at 73A Bolton Street. “This year will be a game changer for us”, says Kimberly Dawn, “as we have ex- panded our line of Kicking Cowboy De- signs,


signed a Western Wear


Distributor to sell the KCD Brand in Australia/ New Zealand, and a licensing deal in place to sell retailers in both Canada and the USA”. The ‘soft opening will be March


28th, with the Official Grand Opening Sunday May 17th with ribbon cutting at 10:30 am, country music, refreshments and more. “We will continue setting up our


trailers every weekend at the Rawhide and Ram Rodeos which is a huge mar- keting tool,” says Kimberly Dawn, “but our new brick and mortar flagship Bobcaygeon location will give us more Brand exposure, create jobs and add room to ship our web orders as well”

Coronavirus and COVID-19 are both coronaviruses, however, they are distinctly different viruses. The Center for Disease


Control and Prevention (CDC), infectious disease experts, and multiple international and na- tional human and animal health organizations have stated that at this time there is NO EVI- DENCE to indicate that horses could contract COVID-19 or that horses would be able to spread the disease to other animals or humans. Equine enteric coron- avirus and COVID-19 are NOT the same strain, and there is no indication that either are trans- missible between species. Therefore, it is important to


concentrate on the health of our equestrians by being precautious and following recommendations

Equine Coronavirus Vs. COVID-19:


Two Distinctly Different Diseases


The recent spread of the


novel coronavirus has raised se- rious concerns as the status con- tinues to evolve. As equine veterinarians, Palm Beach Equine Clinic would like to ad- dress the questions and concern raised by horse owners regarding the potential impact of this dis- ease on the equine industry. Coronaviruses include a


from public health officials. Palm Beach Equine Clinic will con- tinue to make every effort to stay informed on the developments with COVID-19, and will con- tinue to provide expert veterinary care to all horses regardless of the status of this disease. Equine coronavirus is an en-


teric, or gastrointestinal, disease in the horse. There is NO EVI-


nated with infected manure.


Common Clinical Signs: Typi- cally mild signs that may include anorexia, lethargy, fever, colic or diarrhea. Diagnosis: Veterinarians diag- nose equine enteric coronavirus by testing fecal samples, and the frequency of this disease is low.


Treatment and Prevention: If di- agnosed, treatment is supportive care, such as fluid therapy and anti-inflammatories, and estab- lishing good biosecurity precau- tions of quarantining the infected horse. Keeping facilities as clean as possible by properly disposing of manure will help decrease chances of horses contracting the virus.
