Better be careful. Hay comes from plants - plants contain plant
hormones which are one the AERC list. Damn there might be a weed in the
bail you happen to get a random that has something someone on the AERC
vet committee did not like. I don't think right now given the AERC
drug rule you can even safely conclude hay is legal.
Think about it - it is a pretty sad state of affairs when those of us
that are paying our hard earned bucks to support the organization in a
recreational sport have to ask the organization for a list of what we
can feed. Who is running the organization - the members or a committee
that is not elected by the members that seems to want to dictate what
we can and can't feed in the guise of a drug rule. Does anyone else
perceive that something is wrong with this equation? I sure do.

That is fine with me, but I don't care to spend the time it takes to
come to these conclusions. Now I just want a LIST of LEGAL
PRODUCTS that are OK to feed within 96 hours of competition. I would
like AERC to publish this list of products they have approved. Since
hay is the most important feed the horse needs to ingest, the
supplements are mostly an appatite stimulus for my horse, and I am sure
he would be fine with most anything (other than his plain ol' beet
pulp), if it has some carrots in it.
