Land O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC has implemented a voluntary product retrieval of certain feeds manufactured between November 3, 2007 and February 8, 2008 at our Statesville, N.C., feed plant; between January 1, 2008 and February 8, 2008 at our Harrisburg, Penn., feed plant; and between January 1, 2008 and March 10, 2008 at our Guilderland, N.Y. plant.
This voluntary retrieval was initiated due to the possible presence of aflatoxin contamination above acceptable levels.
To date, we have received no confirmed aflatoxin-related animal health complaints involving any of the retrieved products. Nevertheless, we have taken such precautionary action as our utmost priority continues to be our customers and the well-being of their animals.
All dealers who purchased any of the retrieved products directly from Land O'Lakes Purina Feed LLC have been notified. These dealers are located in the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia.
Our investigation and product testing identified one ingredient of concern, which originated from a single supplier. We have discontinued purchasing from this supplier. Other feed companies that purchased from this supplier are facing a similar situation.
For more information about specific products included in the retrieval, contact the Statesville, N.C., Feed Plant at 704-924-5100 or the Harrisburg, Penn., Feed Plant at 717-737-4581.

August 2008 at the AETA International Trade Fair in Baltimore: Introduction of Newly Elected Board Members
The American Equestrian Trade Association was pleased to distribute, in April, a Call for Nominations for AETA's first election. Nominations paperwork for the Association's 2009 Board of Directors is due back to the AETA office on June 2, when it will be reviewed by the Nominating Committee: Judith McSwain/Fleeceworks, Chair; Dianna Babington/Nutri-Science USA; Noreen Cothran/The Farm House. The Committee, AETA members who are not running for a position, will develop a slate for distribution, with submitted platform statements, to current AETA members. A list of all current AETA members is posted on the AETA web site www.aetanews.com.
Open Positions/Eligibility:
AETA is inviting nominations for President-elect, Vice
President/Secretary, Treasurer, and Directors. Manufacturer/Distributor,
Retail and Sales Agent members in good standing are eligible for these
positions. Specific qualifications for these positions are outlined in the
AETA by laws posted on our web site.
Board Responsibilities:
The full Board meets in person twice a year at the AETA International
Trade Fair and by conference call two additional times. The Officers meet
by conference call between those meetings. Since the Association and Board
are new entities and evolving, members of the Board step in to assist as
needed on projects including the Trade Fair, membership, communications
initiatives. The Treasurer is responsible for financial oversight, check
signing and budget development. The Treasurer's position is more
specifically defined since it coincides with day to day bookkeeping and
banking functions conducted by the AETA's association management
company.
The overall responsibilities for the AETA Board are those common to all Boards of Directors. The Board is responsible for the overall direction of the organization. It governs, develops policy and sets a course for the future. Board members have a duty to make informed decisions which involves reviewing background materials, proposals, and financial reports, requiring the ability to put aside personal interests to further the well-being of the Association. All members of the Board receive support from the management staff who is responsible for the daily operations of the organization, as well as advising the Board on non-profit management issues.
The new Board members will be announced at the AETA International Trade Fair in Baltimore during the Bi-Annual Meeting on August 2, 2008. The dedicated group of volunteers currently serving on the "founding" Board will continue in their roles through the end of 2008. They will mentor the newly elected Board in the final months of 2008 to ensure a smooth transition and organizational continuity. In January 2009, the new Board members will take the reins from AETA's founding Board.
Remember: You must be an AETA member to have a voice: to submit a nomination, to nominate another member and to vote. This is your opportunity to directly influence the future of your association and the equestrian trade industry, and we look forward to your participation in this exciting process.
If you've questions, need a membership application or nominations form, please do not hesitate to contact us. If you are interested in becoming a more involved member but not interested in becoming a member of the Board, we welcome your help. A lot of hands are needed to make AETA happen.

The Gleneayre Equestrian Program (GEP) is a non-profit program that provides children with an opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and responsibility through nurturing and caring for horses. GEP realizes dreams in giving adolescents with challenges an opportunity to "own" and care for their own horse.
In an effort to serve more children, and because schools must provide alternative programs for at-risk youth, GEP is planning to expand its program. Ellen Healey, founder of GEP, is excited about the new program called "Cowboy Poetry." The Cowboy Poetry curriculum was created by Strides to Success, a non-profit organization based out of Plainfield, Indiana.
GEP will be partnering with area schools and will implement this new curriculum to help children who are not succeeding in the traditional classroom environment. The proceeds from the Beacon Hill Equestrian Grand Prix will help to fund the new seven-week program. Slated to begin in September 2008, Cowboy Poetry will run once a week for each class of students in a program that will be coordinated closely with classroom teachers. During the 2008-2009 school year, GEP will schedule two classes each semester, serving a total of 32 students in four classes (eight students per class). In subsequent years, GEP will run additional classes, to serve greater numbers of students. Using horses as members of the learning team - in a learning methodology called equine-assisted learning -- the Cowboy Poetry classes will help children to learn positive life skills that will help them to remain in school, and to become more successful in their family and social relationships.
In addition to funding from the Beacon Hill Equestrian Grand Prix, GEP is pleased that Christina Ortega, owner of Spark of Creation, will be donating 50% of the proceeds from the sales of the Debbie Brooks' designed equestrian handbags she carries. This is Ortega's second year in business and her introduction to the horse world came at the 2007 Beacon Hill show. It was there she met Healey and knew she would enjoy giving to GEP. Ortega has a natural desire to help others. She said, "I can't tell you the good feeling we get from giving. It makes me feel so good it is almost selfish."
During last year's show Ortega received many requests for equine themed jewelry. Many of the handmade jewelry pieces she designs now reflect that equestrian theme. Her jewelry and the Debbie Brook's handbags can be seen at the show and can also be previewed or purchased on her website: www.sparkofcreation.com.
Spark of Creation will be one of the many vendors located on vendor row at the Beacon Hill Equestrian Grand Prix.
Horse show classes begin each day at 8am and will run throughout the day. The main event is the $50,000 Budweiser Grand Prix presented by Wachovia. The country's best show jumping riders, including past Olympians and many who have ridden for the USA in the World Equestrian Games will vie for the blue ribbon and prize money. In addition to watching the spectacular equine athletes, children visiting the show on Saturday and Sunday will enjoy a petting zoo and carnival games with prizes. Tickets are $5 a person at the gate. Be sure to get there early on the weekend in order to get a good seat for the main events.
A television documentary based on the novel "Fate of the Stallion" by Ron Hevener is calling it a wrap. "It's been great, and we want to thank everyone who helped make this happen," says the author. "It was magic!"
Inspired by "Nahgua" (a proud Arabian stallion down on his luck and his climb back to glory), the book sold out its first printing. At one point, almost every school library had a copy. "We've heard from television executives in four countries," says Hevener's publicist.
Filming took place in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, where the famous stallion was reported in the news as "One of Lancaster County's most celebrated residents" upon his death in November of 2006. With production under way, a search was made for the right horse to portray him. As fate would have it, a young stallion was found in Michigan, the very state where Nahgua was once named Arabian Race Colt of the Year.
"As soon as I saw him, I knew Selket Louchiano was the right choice to play Nahgua," says Hevener, who caught up with the stallion at the U.S. National Arabian Horse Show, in Kentucky. "He's a look-alike for the illustrations in the novel. He's unusually tall, exotic and he loves people."
Immediately, Louchiano was taken off the national show circuit and put into training for the film.
With the TV documentary complete, Louchiano is happily grazing in his new paddock and getting ready for special public appearances and horse shows again.
"Somewhere out there," says Hevener, "I've got a funny feeling that Nahgua is smiling."

Lisbon, MD - Days End Farm Horse Rescue will host a free "Movin' On Up Parade" celebrating their move to a spacious 58-acre farm. On April 26, Days End horses, mounted police and rescue vehicles carrying officials from various animal rescue groups will make their way from the old farm in Lisbon to the new one in Woodbine, less than a mile away.

Now fit and healthy, she will be accompanied by several horses formerly of Days End, ridden by their new owners. One, Captain Jack, will lead the parade, carrying Kathleen Schwartz-Howe, Days End Founder and Executive Director.

National Farriers Week, July 6 through 12, represents a special time to thank the footcare professionals who help keep your horses healthy and functional.
Since horses with bad feet can lose their ability to properly function, the thousands of farriers across North America deserve to be specially recognized once a year for their dedication to keeping horses' feet healthy.
In recognition of the valuable work performed by hoof-care professionals, National Farriers Week is being held this year from July 6 to 12. It is an appropriate time for horse owners, trainers, riders, grooms, equine veterinarians and others to recognize the effort and training required by the men and women who shape and protect hooves in order to keep the animals comfortable and functional.
Horse owners who want to show a special appreciation for the exceptional work of their farriers can download a certificate of recognition by going to www.americanfarriers.com/ff/certif on the American Farriers Journal Web site.
Other ways to show a farrier appreciation throughout the year include:
Providing a level, clean and well-lit work area for handling footcare needs.
Having the horses properly cleaned and ready prior to the farrier's arrival.
Having someone available to keep nervous or ill-behaved horses calm during the footcare work.
Training your horses at a young age to be comfortable with having their feet handled.
Working with the farrier to develop a regular footcare schedule.
Taking the time and making the effort to say "thanks" for a job well done.
"Doing one or more of these things will demonstrate that you understand the difficulty of the farrier's work," says Frank Lessiter, editor of American Farriers Journal. "You'll also make it possible for the hoof-care professional to focus on your horse's feet. That represents a winning combination for everyone, especially the horse.
"Trimming and shoeing a 1,000-pound horse is hard physical labor, but also requires an ever-increasing level of technical knowledge. Most horse owners don't realize how much there is to know about a horse's feet and trimming and shoeing them appropriately.
"Farriers often attend specialized training schools and serve apprenticeships prior to practicing the trade. They also attend numerous seminars and clinics to continue their education and keep up with the latest research and shoeing techniques. They deserve a tremendous amount of recognition for their efforts."
