"... your mare with B-1 which acts as a calming
influence, maybe at the half way..."
Rule 6 alert. It is my understanding
that to get B-vitamines into the blood that quickly, they have to be
injected. That would most likely be considered "medical treatment"
Rule 13 alert. It is possible/probable
that enough B1 to calm a horse would be considered to be the
administration of a normal substance in an abnormal amount.
My suggestion is to take this horse to lots and
lots of gatherings of horses. For example: shows, gymkhanas, organized
trail rides. Eventually the horse will calm down, or you will decide that
it needs another job.

PS: This post is not to be construed to be an
invitation to start a discussion as to the reasonableness of either rule
6, rule 13, or whether any particular possible violation of either could
be "detected" and if not detected/detectable would/would not still be
wrong or prohibited. If I am wrong about the necessity/desirability of
vitamin B1 injections, I really do not care as I have not and will not use
them.
