A PERFECT MATCH: A $10,000 gift from the Equine Foundation of Canada to support vital horse health research at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine will double in value and impact through a unique matching gift program at the veterinary college.
IDEA EXPANDS INTO NEW TECHNIQUE: When Dr. Chris Bell read a magazine article about a minimally-invasive treatment for people with chronic sinusitis, the large animal surgical resident was intrigued. Could a similar treatment be adapted for use in horses?
EHRF STUDIES BUILD ON RESEARCH EXPERIENCE: The Western College of Veterinary Medicine's Equine Health Research Fund has allocated a total of $69,000 to five new equine health projects — all of which cover topics of vital importance for researchers and for horse owners.
