Re: [RC] Bute 4 days before racing - Ed and Wendy Hauser

It has been stated, properly, that the rule doesn't literally require no
detectable amount.  In practice it does.  If your horse is found to have a
detectable amount, there will be an inquiry and you will have to defend
yourself with all the publicity that goes with it.  Not a situation anyone
wants to be in.  I surely do not be known as a suspected, horse druger.

There are shorter acting anti-inflamatory drugs available from vets.  The
problem (and the good part) of bute is it hangs around for a long time and
requires fewer doses.

The archives have many discussions about the drug rule and its implications.

Myself, I am very very careful to never have any anxieties when the testing
vet shows up at a ride.  I seem to live right and have had my horse tested 3
times in the last 5 years.
