Investing in the future
Our Research Partners
Equine Guelph supports a number of high-quality projects at the University of Guelph by virtue of funding provided largely by the racing industry (Standardbred, Thoroughbred and Quarter horse organizations).
EP Taylor Fund
Started by leaders in the Thoroughbred industry, the EP Taylor Fund is now maintained in trust by the University and Equine Guelph. Interest derived from the fund annually is made available for Equine Guelph funded research projects as prioritized by the EG Research Committee.
Horse Improvement Program
HIP is overseen by Ontario Racing with a percentage of the wagering handle from Thoroughbred, Standardbred and Quarter Horse racing in Ontario directed to racing-related research funding.
The Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association of Ontario
The HBPA represents owners and/or trainers of thoroughbred racehorses and the organization has supported the research program since Equine Guelph’s inception in 2003.
Support Equine Guelph Research & Education Programs
Equine Guelph thanks these organizations for their crucial base funding of the Research Program. We also appreciate ongoing support from private donors, ranging from annual donations to endowments in support of both our Research and Education Programs.
