[RC] prohibited drugs - k s swigartChyrstal Woodhouse said: HI! :-0 Is there a "list" of drugs prohibited by the AERC? Not yet. The most recent issue of Endurance News that outlined the new drug rule says that there will be if/when it is implemented. I checked the rule book but what I found was pretty vague, anyway I just want to make sure that the ulcer medicine ( Cetadine) I just put my mare on is o.k. Under the current rule, it is not. You will have to wait until they come out with the list of "permitted substances" that is also spoken of in the most recent issue of the EN to know whether it will be if/when the new rule is implemented. The current rule prohibits all "drugs" (and virtually nobody would argue that Cemetidine isn't a drug) during competition (you can, of course, use any drug you want at home). The current "guidelines" published by the AERC permit the use of Regumate (which virtually nobody would argue isn't a drug either) or other substances for regulating estrous in mares. This is a contradiction with the current rule, but since the AERC has published it as a guideline, they cannont enforce their current drug rule with respect to participants who drug their horses with substances for regulating estrous in mares. They can, however, enforce the rule about ulcer medications. kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
