Ed, that was not really the point. The point
was that there are a lot of supplements out there that have it in them. We had
accidentally bought something with it and my hubbie contacted them to find out if
he should ride or not. We weren’t trying to chisel…nor are most folks.
We use bute, if there’s a need but we needed to ask how long it hangs around
in the body before going to a ride again. There are some meds/substances that can
be tested long after their use and the body’s need for them is over. Yes,
if a horse needs bute, he shouldn’t be competing but we weren’t sure
how long it could be tested. Same with Yucca.
There are a lot of folks out there still learning
the ropes. Give ‘em the benefit of the doubt.

If a person wants to follow the intent of rule 13, they will not
try to chisel by using a banned substance and then hoping that it does not
"test", they will just not use the substance. Especially when
many supplements are available without the banned substance.
One can easily avoid feeding any amount of a banned substance, and
still give their horse all of the nutrition it needs to maximize their chances
of achieving their endurance goals.
