SAD news from Germany

The wonderful black stallion GRIBALDI succumbed to an aneurysm on his aorta February 14. He was 16. A top breeding stallion he also had a an enviable show record in his own right, reaching thetop levels culminating at the World Cup Finale in Las Vegas a few years ago where some of you may have seen him. Influential in the breed in Germany & especially in the Netherlands where he was at stud since the mind 90s. He was bred by Marika Werner & is by Kostalany out of Gondola II by Ibikus.

Status of ATA mares:

Because not all ATA mares have been inspected & because those that are inspected were usually only seen by 1 inspector, the CTHS needs to inspect all ATA mares for Stud Book status. Inspection for German Verband inspected mares is waived.

In response to European Union requirements the CFIA (Canadian Food inspection Agency) has issued a new directive: MEAT HYGIENE DIRECTIVE. What this means for horse owners is that if there is any chance your horse will end up in the food chain it needs to have a complete health record for the 6 months before processing. CFIA plans to issue a paper certificate called EID (Equine Identification Document). The UELN (Equine Life Number) issue that the horse industry has been struggling with for several years now is related to this issue.

Newly Approved Stallion in Ontario after 1st inspection in 2009.

March 6 2009 the branding/inspection team, consisting of Herbert Boettcher, Yvonne Brown, Judy Kirkby & Ingrid von Hausen made the 1st inspection of the year. As Judy had to come to Toronto any for a dressage steward's course & examination, we took advantage of her presence to conduct our 1st 09 inspection. The weather cooperated fully: it was one of the warmest days so far in March.

We traveled to Omemee (near Perterbrough) to inspect PARADISE DCR 05 black stallion by Prinz Habicht out of Pirouette by Blinker, bred & owned by Charles & Mary Jo Connell.

The footing (icy & wet) was not sufficient for a proper evaluation of his gaits. We will reinspect his movement under better conditions. He is at least satisfactory all over, & has been approved for Trakehner breeding.

This stallion is good in bone structure, & frame , hoof , joints & angling. Good riding horse neck.
