AAEP and USDF to Promote Horse Health as Alliance Partners
Equestrian News Release
The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP), the world's largest
professional association of equine veterinarians, is pleased to announce the
addition of the U.S. Dressage Federation (USDF) to its Alliance Partner
Program. Through this alliance the two organizations will educate horse
owners about quality equine health care.
"The USDF and the AAEP are committed to the advancement and education of
their respective memberships for the benefit of the horse, " said Dr.
Douglas G. Corey, AAEP president. "Because many AAEP members are involved
in the hands-on care of dressage horses, our partnership with the USDF is a
natural extension of the veterinary care that is already provided on an
individual basis."
Founded in 1973, the United States Dressage Federation, headquartered at the
Kentucky Horse Park, has more than 33,000 members and 129 nationwide
affiliate organizations. USDF was established for the purpose of promoting
and encouraging a high standard of accomplishment in dressage throughout the
United States, primarily through educational programs.
The partnership will focus on the presentation of equine health information
to USDF members through their own magazine, USDF Connection, their Web site
http://www.usdf.org, as well as through veterinary speakers at the Adequan/USDF
National Convention and Symposium.
The USDF joins the American Quarter Horse Association, U.S. Equestrian
Federation, Inc., Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association and the
Arabian Horse Association as AAEP Alliance Partners.
The American Association of Equine Practitioners, headquartered in
Lexington, Ky., was founded in 1954 as a non-profit organization dedicated
to the health and welfare of the horse. Currently, the AAEP reaches more
than 5 million horse owners through its nearly 9,000 members worldwide and
is actively involved in ethics issues, practice management, research and
continuing education in the equine veterinary profession and horse industry.
