Hello, this discussion was started with the
question...Is Milk of Magnesia an allowed substance in AERC and FEI
competitions? The AERC office referred me to Dr. Jim Baldwin, Chair
of the AERC Veterinary Committee. MoM, is basically 8% Magnesium hydroxide
in water and the magnesia .."acts to pull a salt or saline solution into the
intestines from the blood." It is ...also a remedy for cuts..a teaspoon of
MoM and a teaspoon of white sugar made into a paste and spread on the
wound." There may be some discussion on the usage of this substance in
AERC from the purists, but that is not this intent. This morning i called
Jim,who just returned from an Endurance Ride with the question...Is MoM legal in
AERC and FEI competitions". His answer was.." YES,and a lot of people use
it." tom sites
