October 3, 2007 – Québec, Québec – Eric Lamaze is the latest show jumping athlete to be selected for sponsorship by CAVALOR CANADA, a division of Pegase Medical Inc. CAVALOR specializes in feed supplements and nutraceuticals for sport horses and offers a wide range of products and services to enhance health and performance.

A long-time member of the Canadian Show Jumping Team, Lamaze, 39, is currently enjoying the most successful season of his career partnered with Hickstead. In addition to helping Canada win back-to-back victories in the CN Nations' Cup Wellington, Florida, he was also a Team Silver and Individual Bronze Medalist at this summer's Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In September, Lamaze celebrated the biggest win of his career, claiming the $1 million CN International during the CSIO Spruce Meadows "Masters" Tournament in Calgary, AB.

"We have been using the products on our horses, including Hickstead, and he is feeling better than ever," said Lamaze of the 11-year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion that Torrey Pines Stables owns in partnership with Ashland Stables Inc. "Cavalor has supported some great riders in our sport. I am very happy to be a part of it."

Based in Schomberg, ON, Lamaze has made numerous trips to Europe over the past three years in a concentrated effort to improve his own abilities as well as those of his horses by competing against the best in the world. His commitment has paid off and, as of September 1, 2007, he was ranked among the top ten riders in the world in the Rolex World Rider Rankings.

"Eric embodies what the sport of show jumping is all about - focus, determination, and overcoming adversity to achieve excellence," said Francis Berger, General Manager of Cavalor Canada. "We are very proud that Cavalor's products are a part of Hickstead's program as his achievements place him among the top horses in the sport today."

In addition to Lamaze, Cavalor Canada sponsors eight-time Olympian Ian Millar, as well as developing athletes Frederique Côte, Amanda Knowles, Tonya Henning, and Bianca Lafontaine.
