Re: [RC] USEF Approves New Drug - Eric RueterBut isn't the pain and inflammation natures way of saying "enough already"? I always thought that inflammation was a result, not a cause, and therefore if we block inflammation and pain we are by-passing the natural controls that keep horses from doing damage to themselves, thanx eric Eric Rueter Rueter Consulting, Inc.

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. kat Orange County, Calif. :) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
