There are some people who would contend that denying pain killers to
horses in pain is just plain wrong.

It is possible to argue that inflamation is an almost guaranteed
by-product of strenuous exercise so to deny anti-inflammatories to
strenuously exercising horses is cruel....and if you give the
anti-inflammatories before you start, then they can work as a
preventative rather than a treatment and stop the inflamation before it
has a chance to start permanent damage.
