Not sure if this has been addressed or not, but would not the nasal strips
fall under the "drug" ruling?  They surely must be considered performance
altering.  Seems to me that if electrical massage therapy falls under this
kind of ruling that the nasal strips would.  Simply curious.

<< Anyone use these things at a race?

 My last ride was fairly fast and my horse was blowing a lot while
 cantering and was wondering if these things would keep him from doing
 that and help him breathe easier. ----If I kept him at a trot more he
 wouldn't be blowing either. It'd probably be cheaper if I kept him at a
 trot more too.

 Thanx for the input

We've used them in Abu Dhabi. Impression from the riders was that they
helped. No significant changes in performance, that I could see, though. I
don't think they'll stop a horse from blowing after hard effort.
