RE: [RC] drug rule - Chris Eickleberry

So-- I guess my question is: is it legal for me to have adequan shots in
between competitions?? Should it be longer than 72 hours before? I was
told that used preventively for a teen aged distance horse, that it
could help head off joint problems in the future-- so is it OK or
not???.......Chris E./Indiana

I've seen people give adequan shots the day before the ride in ride
camp. I've seen a vet show up at a base camp to meet a few of his
clients on Friday before the ride. He did some adjustments and then

gave

 one of his client's horse a shot of IV Legned. When asked by the

clinet

 if it was legal he said sure was and it was the best time to do it.

The

 vet at that time was vetting quite a few AERC rides so I expect if

that

 is any indication - it's all legal.


What it indicates is that some of the ride vets are ignorant of Rule 13.

Sad, very sad.
