February 10, 2006 – Toronto, Ontario – Intervet Canada Ltd., makers of Quadrisol®, has announced its sponsorship of Canadian Show Jumping Olympian, Beth Underhill.

Intervet Canada Ltd. has entered into an agreement to sponsor Underhill and her horses. The agreement will see Underhill wearing the Intervet or Quadrisol® logo on her clothing and saddlepads, as well as using Quadrisol® products where necessary at her barn. For Underhill, the partnership was a natural fit as she had used Intervet products and was impressed with the results.

“I am really excited, Quadrisol® 100 is a quality product that is safe and easy to use,” said Underhill, who operates Beth Underhill Stables in Schomberg, ON. “It will help to revolutionize our industry in that we don’t have to use injectables, and the staff can administer it without having the veterinarian there. I have also been very impressed by the people at Intervet. They are very enthusiastic and family-oriented, and I am happy to help heighten awareness about their products, especially in Canada.”

A three-time Canadian Show Jumping Champion, Underhill is a veteran member of the Canadian Show Jumping Team and has competed at the Olympics, World Championships, and Pan American Games. Two of her most famous horses, Monopoly and Altair, captured the hearts of show jumping fans around the world and made Underhill one of the most prominent female competitors in the sport. She is currently enjoying Grand Prix success riding the Dutch Warmblood mare, Magdaline.

“We were delighted to be supporting Beth Underhill, and it is extremely gratifying to know that an athlete of her caliber believes so strongly in our products,” said Dr. Jorgen Jorgensen, General Manager of Intervet Canada Ltd.

Intervet Canada Ltd. recently expanded its line of Quadrisol® products by introducing Quadrisol® i.v. 50, a sterile solution for intravenous administration for horses to control inflammation and relief of pain associated with musculo-skeletal disorders and soft tissue lesions (traumatic injuries and surgical trauma). Extensive trials have been conducted giving the active ingredient, Vedaprofen, a proven safety and efficacy record. Other products in the Quadrisol® family include Quadrisol® 100 for horses and Quadrisol® 5 for dogs.
