May 14, 2007 – Québec, Québec – Cavalor Canada, a division of Pegase Medical Inc., is proud to announce its sponsorship of eight-time Canadian Olympian Ian Millar.

Cavalor Canada, the exclusive distributor of the entire line of Cavalor horse products in Canada, signed a sponsorship agreement with Millar during the Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida.

"I am very pleased to have Cavalor's sponsorship and support," said Millar. "In this game, it helps to have every advantage. Cavalor's impressive and effective range of products have long been used by our European counterparts, and having the same products available right here in Canada will be a huge benefit to our horses and the sport of Canadian show jumping."

Millar is one of the world's best-known show jumping athletes and, in Canada, is nothing short of a sports legend. Featured among his long list of impressive achievements are back-to-back World Cup titles in 1988 and 1989 with the legendary Big Ben, and eight medals earned in seven Pan American Games appearances including two Individual Gold Medals. A member of the Order of Canada, Millar recently anchored the victorious Canadian Team in the Nations' Cup competition in Wellington, Florida, for the second consecutive year.

For Cavalor Canada, the decision to make Millar its first sponsored rider was a natural choice.

"It is an honour for Cavalor Canada to support Ian Millar," said Francis Berger, General Manager of Cavalor Canada. "As the most successful show jumping rider in Canadian show jumping history, we are proud to provide Ian with our innovative products that will assist his horses in competing at the highest international standard."
