Re: [RC] Bute 4 days before racing - JackieI am a bit confused here. I don't give my horses much extra anything than what is in their feed, so I don't really worry about what would show up if a blood test was done. But on various occasions, I have had to give bute. You mean I would not be able to ride a horse in an endurance ride for *MONTHS* after giving a dose or two of bute??? --- Ed and Wendy Hauser <sisufarm@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: The AERC rule is "no detectable amount". A detectable amount relates to analytical chemistry and not to how much would actually affect a horse. I was told by a vet drawing blood at a ride that bute can be detected for months. On that basis, you should not ride. Ed.
