GoHorseShow asked a variety of trainers their
opinion of the current
therapeutic medications
that are allowed to be administered to horses
during competitions. AQHA, APHA and FEI/USEF have
varying rules on therapeutic medications. Many of
the people we spoke to believe that these rules
need to be looked at further as they are not in
the best interest of the horse, especially the
all-around performers. What are your
thoughts?
