FEATURE HORSE January 15, 2010 - GRAPHITI W (Garfield W x Glory W / Gauguin de Lully) AB-[CAN]2040-98 A


GRAPHITI W, competing as Patronuss, qualified for the 2009 Royal Winter Fair, in both the National Talent Squad (1.45m-1.50m) and in the High Junior/Amateur division (1.40m). They competed November 6th and 7th.
Owner/rider Michele Hinrichs reports "the first day he was very nervous and we had some rails in the first part of the course, but he finished up jumping really well. The 2nd day was the Finals of the Championships for the National Talent Squad division, it was really big, and super technical. He jumped wonderfully and we won 2nd place. It was an outstanding experience, and he is an outstanding horse." The pair finished 5th in Ontario for the Rising Star program (same as Talent Squad, for Ontario riders only). Graphiti W was bred by Sigma Warmbloods of Alberta.

Notice to Industry / Avis a l'industrie


The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched an investigation after confirming that horse semen was imported into Canada from a United States stallion subsequently determined to be infected with contagious equine metritis (CEM). A fourth stallion - three quarter horses and one paint - that formerly stood at a Central Kentucky breeding facility, now identified as DeGraff Stables/Liberty Farm Equine Reproduction Center LLC, has tested positive for contagious equine metritis (CEM). Officials had considered this highly contagious venereal disease eradicated from the United States until it was identified during routine testing of a stallion earlier in December to qualify semen for exportation.

CWHBA has New Articles of Incorporation!

January 12, 2009: CWHBA mailed out to the 2008 & 2009 membership new 'Articles of Incorporation' and 'motions to amend the By-laws' which were voted on by the membership. Their votes, returned by February 12, 2009, was a resounding YES.

National AGM, February 21, 2010: CWHBA will present to the members some positive minor changes to those Articles made by the Department, in consultation with the CWHBA Team, for ratification by the directors and voting Delegates.

From this, was developed a more practical approach that required a slight change and continues to  conform to the APA. Full details can be found in the Member's Area of this web site which requires member login - please contact the office for that information.
