Re: [RC] MSM? - k s swigartFrom the AERC website "NON PERMISSIBLE SUBSTANCES *A NON-INCLUSIVE LIST... Please note that this list is NOT included in Rule 13 and is therefore not a part of the AERC's rules. What, in Rule 13, prevents the administration of MSM? If you are giving it because it is a good source of sulphur, it is permissible. If it has no pharmacological properties (as you assert), it is also permissible. It is only if you are wrong in your assertion that it has no pharmacological properties that it would be in violation of Rule 13. But it is only if you are wrong in your assertion that it has no pharmacological properties that anybody would even WANT to give it to their horse for any reason other than as a source of sulphur. If a person believes it has pharmacological properties (whether it does or not), and that is why they are giving it to their horse, their intent is to violate Rule 13 (whether they are or not :)). kat Orange County, Calif. ============================================================ REAL endurance is taking your non-horsey family to a ridecamp with you! ~ Heidi Sowards ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
