Re: [RC] MSM? - oddfarmExcellent observation. That went right over my head first time around. You are right. If indeed it did enhance the performance of this horse, or the recovery, I would agree that was not fair to the rest of the riders. Oh boy, now what?

What every one is forgetting or ignoring in this discussion about "substances" is exactly what set things off. A poster to the net said <<<I put her on APF three weeks before the Smokey Killen 3 day ride. She was pretty mellow at vet in, no significant changes until the PR's during the ride. Oh My, she has always pulsed okay but never a real low pulse during the ride, 48-56 range. She pulsed in all day at 44-40 and finally after 8 high vet scores, she finally got her Best Condition. I can not say how it has improved her recoveries, but it helped with the visible stress as I am sure it did with the internal stress. Even at twenty mule team we trotted in at 65 miles, stopped for 5 seconds and they were at 60. >>>> This rider was extolling the merits of of the substance used and that it improved the performance of her horse to the state where it won BC. Now realize, this horse had shown for BC and had the high vet score eight times. But the "substance" allowed a much lower pulse rate that attained the coveted BC Award. The Rider also states that a certain named vet is endorsing this product. Does any one care to deny that it should be called a performance enhancing substance and thus not suitable for equines in competition as per Rule 13?
