Plan your midwinter escape to Maui for the Resort Symposium Uniquely casual meeting will spotlight performance horse medicine
It will be part business and all pleasure under the warm Hawaiian sun when the AAEP’s 26th Annual Resort Symposium convenes Jan. 20–22, 2025, in Maui at the breathtaking Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea.
Acquire 15 hours of practical CE from an authoritative panel of presenters on the theme of a Holistic Approach to the Performance Horse. The integrated approach will focus on the diagnosis, treatment and management of the many factors that can limit performance and potential, including overt and subclinical myopathies, neurologic conditions, metabolic and pituitary influences, lower airway inflammation, hoof issues and more. Advances in
imaging, surgery and joint therapies will also be presented.
Half-day educational sessions leave plenty of time to unleash your sense of adventure on optional group excursions consisting of horseback riding through the mountainsides, an offroad Polaris UTV adventure, ziplining through forests and rugged terrain, and a catamaran whale watch cruise.
View the educational program, book your hotel room and register for the meeting and optional group excursions at
aaep.org/event/26th-annual-resort-symposium.
The AAEP thanks Zoetis for its ongoing sponsorship of the Resort Symposium.
ASSOCIATIONFOUNDA The Foundation grants record amount for equine research projects
The Foundation for the Horse has awarded $664,467 in grants for 18 research projects at 12 institutions. These
grants include 11 Innovation and Discovery Research Grants to established equine researchers investigating novel approaches to conditions affecting equine health and welfare. The remaining seven Young Investigator Research Grants were awarded to AAEP-member graduate students, residents or postdoctoral fellows conducting research.
Now in its third year, the Innovation and Discovery Research Grants program, supported in part by a generous gift from Mrs. Penelope Knight and her Coyote Rock Ranch, has awarded more than $978,000 to support 18 projects by 17 veteran equine investigators.
The Innovation and Discovery Research Grant program’s capacity to award funds increased significantly due to a generous $500,000 gift from Mrs. Knight in the fall of 2023 as well as The Foundation’s increased investment of $3 million in overall support for its mission impact for
the 2024-2025 funding cycle. That amount honors The Foundation’s 30th anniversary.
Since its inception in 2019, the Young Investigators Research Grant program has awarded $626,045 to support 33 impactful research projects by up-and-coming investigators.
For the fifth consecutive year, the Thoroughbred Education and Research Foundation partnered with The Foundation to help make these research projects possible. TERF, whose mission is to make racing safer through research, education and scholarships, provided funding and collaborative support for two Young Investigator projects and one Innovation and Discovery grant. Since 2020, TERF has partnered with The Foundation on nine projects totaling $153,404.
