Professional


Horsemen volunteered their time to give 15 free Ride the Pattern clinics, presented by Nutrena. These clinics gave exhibitors and spectators the perfect opportunity to learn how AQHA Professional Horsemen would approach a spe- cific class or pattern at the show. You can watch the previously recorded clinics on AQHA’s Facebook page. Thanks in part to Nutrena’s generosity to match the amount donated at the Ride the Pattern clinics, the Professional Horsemen’s Crisis Fund raised more than $12,000. The AQHA Professional Horsemen also hosted an online auction, which raised more than $31,000 for the Professional Horsemen Crisis Fund.

Medroxyprogesterone Advisory


On December 1, 2020, the CPMA issued the following Industry Notice concerning Medroxyprogesterone


Medroxyprogesterone Advisory The Canadian Pari-Mutuel Agency


With broken hearts we sadly


announce the passing of Patricia (Pat) Bernice Pawley (nee Cross- ley) on December 4, 2020, peace- fully at Allandale Long Term Health Care in Milton, Ontario. Born June 25, 1928. Predeceased by her husband Edward James (Jim) Pawley. She will be deeply missed by her children, Gayle (Keith Wilson), Dawn Wignall, Candice (David Yemm), Cheryl (Pat Carey), Cameron (Cathy),


(CPMA) is advising veterinarians and race-horse trainers and owners that medroxyprogesterone is a prohibited sub- stance in Canada because its use has been associated with deaths in horses and ap- proved veterinary products containing this substance are not available in Canada. In addition, there is published in- formation supporting its lack of efficacy in suppressing estrus, its main reason for use.


Products containing medroxyprog-


esterone should not be administered to a race-horse for any reason. Medroxyprogesterone can be de-


tected in post-race samples for an ex- tended period of time, and may result in a positive test. Testing for medroxyprogesterone


will begin on June 1, 2021. The CPMA strongly recommends that you consult your veterinarian on any de- cision to administer supplements or med- ications to a horse. If you have any questions, please


contact the CPMA at 1-800-268-8835 or aafc.cpmawebacpm.aac@canada.ca.
