Is this really a behavior problem? Giving a
calming product to a horse is not necessarily a substitute for not riding a
horse properly. It doesn't matter what the substance is.....if the rider
is over-horsed, no amount of "calming" is going to resolve the
issue.
I will have to answer the same way that I
have answered in the past. While the AERC does now have a list of
officially prohibited substances, and does list recommended withdrawal for
recommended normally used horse drugs, the actual rule has not
changed.
The rule is that nothing is allowed except a very
short list of drugs (Exactly one, if I remember correctly) and usual normal
nutrients.
The quoted ingredients are Herbal
Medicines. Even though they come from the chemical factories in plants,
and not from a human pharmaceutical factory, they are physiocologically active
substances and thus are banned. If they were not physiocologically
active, you would be wasting your money.
There is no easy fix for endurance horse behavior
problems.
