Re: [RC] Bute - Barbara McCrary

I think this may be an exclusively CA thing. Ride managers received a packet from the State with all that paperwork, and the drug listing was part of that packet. MB, I know you are familiar with this, since you've been involved with ride management for so many years.

We have a form to fill out to list any drug your horse might have in his system.  I will have to look because it may just be a California State form...................mb

How about voluntary declarations before a competition - "I declare that my horse is running drug free", or words to that effect, to include bute or whatever else they try to sneak through next, with the implication that you'll be happy to submit to testing. 

Then when the ride results are in everyone will be able to see whose horse ran on dope. Maybe you could have a separate "clean" podium...

amen. I have had a few phone calls from outraged riders - 'what are we going to do about this!!??' - honestly I don't care much any more what FEI does. A couple years ago they held the 'world forum on endurance' - days and workshops and recommendations about how FEI should move forward. it made no difference, and they actually went in the opposite direction of many of the consensus opinions (e.g. more technical trails). I watched the FEI run Malaysia through the ringer when they won the bid for the WEC, most likely because some powerful lobbies didn't want it there. We'd be better off forming an alternate International organization for those that want to ride (really ride) internationally.
