Just a few thoughts for those persons concerned with the AERC drug rules and
the use of "drugs"
I suggest some reading about the subject prior to any consideration of rule
changes or discussions at the AERC Convention. I offer the following as good
background reading:
Performance Drugs in Sport
Dr. Philip Swan
ISBN 0 646 011448
Drugs and the Performance Horse
Thomas Tobin
ISBN 0 398 04446 5
Equine Drugs and Vaccines
Eleanor M. Kellon / Thomas Tobin
ISBN 0 914327 55 0
Perhaps Tom Ivers could make a few more suggestions. If people are properly
informed about the subject much time could be saved and intelligent rhetoric
, instead of emotional babble, could take place.
The above three books can be understood by the layman (at least I believe I
understand them) and make very good reading. I am open to any discussion so
let's get on with it now Ride Camp is reopened.
