I gave my horse CARBOCHARGE every 30 minutes at the last ride and he for
sure ran much faster (I won!)...the IV's that he had to have after the ride
were just a precaution and had nothing to do with the CARBO CHARGE.  I'm
also filing a protest because my completion was revoked after my horse
tested positive for BUTE.  Now there's a stupid policy!  Just think how much
happier our horses would be if we all gave them bute before during and after
the ride.  Seems only logical to me. I'm also nominating MR. Ivers for BOD.
