AQHA EQUINE RESEARCH FUNDING BY YEAR

Between 1960 and 1972, a total of $618,893 was awarded in equine research. According to available records, these funds supported research related to diet and nutrition, vitamins, equine infectious anemia, parasites, fluid therapy and the printing of various booklets and brochures. It wasn't until 1973 that more specific records were kept on AQHA research projects.
