The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society was founded in 1906 and is incorporated under the Animal Pedigree Act, a Federal statute for the primary purpose of maintaining the official registry of thoroughbred horses in Canada. The objectives and purposes of the Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society are a) to assist and afford a means for the promotion of the interests of those engaged in the breeding of Thoroughbreds, to protect it's members against the unbusinesslike methods, to reform abuses, to diffuse information among its members and others and to secure uniformity in usage and business conditions. b) to determine the requirements for registration of horses as thoroughbreds c) to promote, encourage and assist in livestock and agricultural exhibitions, fairs and racing and offer prizes in cash or otherwise for such purposes which shall be limited to thoroughbred competitions or classes. d) to sponsor, assist and conduct sales of thoroughbred stock e) to compile statistics of the industry. All of these roles are for the purpose of encouraging the ownership and breeding of thoroughbreds in Canada. The Society is managed by a board of directors consisting of 11 directors elected by members to represent 6 regions. Each region is also managed by a board of 11 directors. Both National and Regional boards are subdivided into several committees. An executive committee, made up of the President, 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President and Past President, is responsible for specific matters as delegated by the board. Other committees set up by the elected board are a Finance Committee, Pedigree Committee, Sales Committee, Thoroughbred Improvement Program Committee, Special Events Committee, Performance Thoroughbred Committee, Special Events Committee, Animal Welfare Committee, Government Issues Committee and a Marketing Committee. All committees are set to assist the breeders of thoroughbreds in Canada. The Canadian Thoroughbred Horse Society serves as a voice for its members in the industry. As key issues and problems arise the Society representatives carry the voice of breeders to those meeting rooms where decisions are made. Contact Information
