IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM THE CTHS AB

Admin • March 23, 2020

The accelerating pace of the COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated that the CTHS AB take decisive action to further safeguard the health and safety of our members, associates and our staff.

As a result, effective Monday, March 23, 2020, we are temporarily changing the way that we currently provide our services. We will not be providing public access to our office until further notice and our staff has been encouraged to work remotely at this time.
This decision will enable us to support increased social distancing, in keeping with AB's declared public health state of emergency. By taking this action in a proactive way, we ensure we have the staffing flexibility to meet your needs by way of telephone or email. We are committed to provide you with the highest level of service and support possible.
We know that these steps will be an inconvenience for some. However, these are extraordinary times, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. CTHS AB wants you to stay safe and help others to do the same as we come together to stop the spread of COVID 19.
Stay safe, stay healthy!
CTHS (Alberta Division)

Champion Sire Counterforce Brings Exciting Breeding Opportunities to Alberta! Congratulations to the connections of Counterforce, who was named Champion Sire in British Columbia for 2025 at last night’s industry awards evening! The son of Smart Strike has built an impressive resume, previously earning Champion BC Sire in 2022, while also being recognized that same year as Champion Freshman Sire in both British Columbia and Canada. Now standing in Alberta for his second season, Alberta breeders are fortunate to have access to this proven sire whose progeny continue to make an impact on the racetrack.
