Re: [RC] [RC] Preventing Treated Horses - Jackie WinklemanIsn't there a random drug test fee included in our membership dues or ride fees? I would like to actually see it done more (I've never seen it done in the rides I've been too, but have only been doing this for 2 years). I don't know what the actual costs would be, but it may HELP keep people a little more honest if they actaully thought there was a chance their horse might be tested. Not that anyone would do anything illegal or anything!!! I know NATRC does do random drug testing, and I think they did it at all three rides I've done with them. How often are random drug tests done in AERC rides? Anyone have any more info on this? --- oddfarm <jsalas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Heidi said, As I've stated previously, virtually every death that I've personally witnessed at endurance events has been due either to a non-detected pre-existing condition or to an unavoidable accident. I have been sharing this thread with John and he asked me if any horse that has died at a ride had an autopsy done. How would we know if a horse had a pre-existing condition without an autopsy? Is a horse checked for drugs in the case of a death? Can that be checked without an autopsy? Have drugs ever been considered a possibility? I can't recall ever seeing a report from any committee reporting on drug testing. In eight years, I don't think I have ever been to a ride where I have seen horses being tested for drugs.
