Regumate is the best method that we currently have for keeping mares out of
season during a competition. It can be used as often or as continuously as
your wallet can endure.
It does not increase your horse's performance; it just prevents something
from temporarily decreasing it. Regumate is legal for use in Endurance
horses when given properly as directed on the label unless otherwise
prohibited (eg. by your state or local show rules).
