Have to agree with Bruce and Nik regarding the sheer stupidity of giving such a drug to a horse and then having the horse perform. 

 

I don't know that we "support" USEF per se--although we do liaise with them.  I think the main reason for keeping up a relationship with USEF is so that we can continue to be a voice for the horse, reminding USEF that this kind of approach is wrong, wrong, wrong.

So could someone remind me why the AERC is still supporting the USEF? 
It's seems very hypothetical to be trying to formulate a drug rule that 
both protected the playing field of the competition and protects the 
horse from practices - like drugging it and racing it - of over zealous 
individuals and at the same time support an organization that legalizes 
drugs that allow riders to do just that.
