October 31, 2007 – Québec, Québec – Having announced its sponsorship of eight-time Canadian Olympian Ian Millar earlier in the year, Cavalor Canada, a division of Pegase Medical Inc., is proud to extend its suspport to his son and daughter, Jonathon and Amy Millar, also international show jumping athletes. Cavalor Canada's support of 'Team Millar' marks the first family sponsorship by the exclusive distributor of Cavalor horse products in Canada.

"Extending our sponsorship with Ian to include Jonathon and Amy was a natural choice given that they all use Cavalor products with their large string of horses," said Francis Berger, General Manager of Cavalor Canada. "The best endorsement our products can receive is to have the horses using them be successful, and this is certainly the case with the Millar family."

Ian Millar's accomplishments include back-to-back World Cup titles in 1988 and 1989 with the legendary Big Ben, and nine medals earned in eight Pan American Games appearances including two Individual Gold Medals. Both Jonathon and Amy, who rode alongside their father on the Canadian Nations' Cup Team at the 2000 Spruce Meadows "Masters" Tournament, have enjoyed successful 2007 competition seasons. Jonathon, 33, made numerous trips to the winner's circle this summer while Amy, 30, has done the same, most recently winning the $75,000 World Cup Qualifier Grand Prix in Halton Hills, ON.

At The Royal Horse Show held from November 2-11 in Toronto, ON, all three members of the Millar show jumping family will contest the Canadian Show Jumping Championship presented by Greenhawk on Opening Weekend. On November 9, Cavalor Canada will host an autograph signing session with Ian, Jonathon and Amy Millar at the Cavalor Canada booth located on Red Ribbon Avenue at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. A limited edition print of the three Millars by photographer Debra Jamroz of The Professionals will be used on this special occassion. A schedule of the autograph signing session can be found on the Cavalor Canada website, www.cavalor.ca.
