ECIR Group - Equine Cushings and Insulin Resistance The Equine Cushings and Insulin Resistance (ECIR) Group was started in 2000. It is the largest field
(1)

The Equine Cushings and Insulin Resistance (ECIR) Group was started in 1999 for disseminating information and sharing of experiences among owners and professionals dealing with Equine Cushing's Disease. In ensuing years, each horse and each member has contributed to the learning and the success of the ECIR group and to the health and longevity of many more horses. Robin Siskel founded the ECIR Gro

up for her mare, Night Flight (Tina) with the goal of keeping information firmly based in science. Noted veterinarian Eleanor Kellon, VMD, joined the EC and IR Group in 2001 and became Co-Owner with Robin. Because Insulin Resistance/ Equine Metabolic Syndrome was and still is often mistaken for Cushing's Disease, the ECIR Group developed as a resource for both Cushing's Disease and Insulin Resistance/Equine Metabolic Syndrome. With thousands of international members, the ECIR groups.io outreach group is arguably the largest field trial in the world and provides the latest research, medication information & dietary recommendations for horses with these conditions. Even universities do not and cannot compile and follow long term as many in depth case histories of PPID/EMS horses as the ECIR Group. In 2013 the Equine Cushing's and Insulin Resistance Group Inc., an Arizona nonprofit corporation, was approved as a 501(c)3 public charity and can now receive tax deductible contributions and grants to support ongoing research, education and awareness of Equine Cushing's Disease and Insulin Resistance/Equine Metabolic Syndrome.
