Re: [RC] claming agents that won't test positive, know any? - Howard Bramhall
This has nothing to do with a moral code. It has to do with common
sense. If your horse is in pain would you refuse to give him a shot of
banamine because that substance is illegal to use during an endurance
ride? Or bute?
Come on, I'm sure you have a brain in there somewhere. To try and
imply that I'm breaking the rules because of what I write or to try and say that
"because he states this that must be the reason he's worried about talking to
the vets," only shows that you think I'm immoral because I don't think like
you. I wonder who else is on that list.
Look, we have drugs out there for the benefit of the horse, the dog, the
cat and ourselves. It's ludicrous not to use them when the need
arises. To infer that you can never ever use any drugs whatsoever because
your horse is an endurance horse is taking this thing way too far. You can
use whatever legal drugs you wish, just not during a ride.
As far as what's in my yard, you're more than welcome to come over any time
and check it out to see if it passes your test of what is right and what is
wrong. Might be a bit warm for you down here, so make sure you pack some
shorts and flip-flops. Bring your own beer though just in case I don't
turn out to be moral enough for you to drink with.

Howard:
1. How long does it take for the
performance enhancing substances found in the weeds to be eliminated from your
horse? How do you know that 48 hours is long enough?
2. How do you know that these unknown plants are
safe for horses to eat? Many plants are poison. Since you say you
love your horses I assume that you know that the strange plants in your
pasture do not hurt your horse.
3. Does your moral code require you to do
what is right at all times? or do rules only apply when you might get caught?
Is this the reason you are so worried about riders talking to vets?
