The American Association of Equine Practitioners will honor a council of family ranchers dedicated to improving equine welfare through research, education, and innovative marketing with the 2009 Lavin Cup, its award for outstanding equine welfare initiatives.
The North American Equine Ranching Information Council (NAERIC), a non-profit association comprised of 64 family ranchers in Canada and North Dakota, will be presented with the Lavin Cup at the President's Luncheon, Dec. 8, during the AAEP's 55th Annual Convention.
Established in 1995, NAERIC member ranchers manage broodmares that produce quality horses of several breeds as well as provide pregnant mares' urine (PMU). Estrogens extracted from PMU are used to produce hormone therapies for menopausal women.
