Re: [RC] Yucca in feed - Weed Free Hay - stevebThis has been a concern of my regarding Certified Weed Free Hay. I don't want to change hay when I get to a ride. We ended up buying a ton of CWFH and have been gradually changing over to it prior to the Prineville ride this weekend. It's not very good hay, but the horses eat it and I won't have to change at the ride. I don't like this requirement...

I get a little squiggly over that prospect. I hardly change my own SOCKS right before a ride.

I believe that is the timeframe for substances to pass through the body and not show up on race day. Likewise, this is the procedure for feeding fats, discontinue feeding rice bran and other fats about three days prior to competition, not for "drug" reasons, but for metabolic reasons. Then after arriving home from competition, continue with "normal" diet.
