A refusal to submit a horse for sampling will constitute a breach of this rule.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this rule is to ensure that the normal performance of a horse during an Endurance GB ride is not affected, either deliberately or unintentionally, by the influence of drugs or medications or any form of veterinary treatment. It is a contravention of this rule if the analysis of a sample taken from a horse participating in a ride shows the presence in its tissues, body fluids, excreta of Prohibited Substance or a metabolite of such a substance or an isomer of the substance or an isomer of a metabolite. Specific groups of substances prohibited under this rule are listed in the current FEI Veterinary Regulations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum threshold levels have been set for substances that may innocuously be found in samples taken from horses. Details of these may be found in the current FEI Veterinary Regulations.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of inhalation oxygen and the use of hypodermic injections, nasogastric intubation or rectal infusions for the administration of saline fluids, electrolytes, glucose etc., are forbidden during the ride. The administration of glucose and electrolyte solutions by voluntary consumption or by oral administration using a syringe is permitted.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti-ulcer oral treatment with ranitidine, cimetidine, and omeprazole is permitted. Treatment of mares for oestrus-related behavioural problems with altrenogest (Regumate) only is permitted provided, a) the manufacturer’s recommended dose rate and duration of treatment are used, b) the horse’s logbook contains a signed letter on headed notepaper from the rider’s or owner’s vet confirming that the drug has been prescribed for oestrus-related behavioural problems only.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 20px;\u0022\u003eCross Contamination\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders should be aware of the risks of cross contamination and try to prevent it, either between their own horses or other people’s, whether at home or at rides. For example special care is needed when Ventipulmin or Regumate is in use. Ingredients in feed and supplements may be checked using the search facility on the FEI website.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 20px;\u0022\u003eWithdrawal Times\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere controlled medication has been prescribed, riders must ensure that sufficient time has been allowed on completion of treatment for the drug to clear from the horse’s system. The Veterinary Surgeon prescribing for the horse should be made aware that the horse competes and should be able to advise the rider on approximate withdrawal times.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 20px;\u0022\u003ePermitted Treatment\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrug testing always considers horse welfare. Offering water to drink and cooling is allowed in the testing area. Feeding is prohibited to avoid sample contamination. You can expect to be under observation until testing is complete.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinor skin treatments may be treated using topical antibiotics only. Many topical (including herbal), some natural or herbal calming supplements and some fly repellents contain prohibited substances. Always check labels. Any treatments should only be applied after a Ride Veterinary Surgeon has inspected the lesion and drug-testing protocol is complete.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022font-size: 20px;\u0022\u003eEmergency Treatment\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf, during a ride, it is necessary to treat a horse or pony with a drug the permission of a ride Veterinary Surgeon must be sought. They will investigate the reason for treatment and make a report to the TS/Ground Jury who shall decide whether the horse is to be allowed to continue or shall be eliminated. Note that the ride is deemed to have started if the horse has been presented for initial vetting prior to the start of the ride itself.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\u0022margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0pt;\u0022\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","ContentConfig":{"Caption":null,"Icon":null,"IconColour":null,"CaptionColour":null,"UnderlineColour":null,"TextColour":null,"FontSize":null,"LineHeight":null,"RequiresLoggedInUser":false,"BottomMargin":0,"PaddingLeft":"10px","PaddingTop":"10px","PaddingRight":"10px","PaddingBottom":"10px","PhoneVisible":true,"TabletVisible":true,"DesktopVisible":true,"CssClass":null,"PageLinkName":null,"PageLinkCaption":null},"ComponentCode":null,"ComponentError":null,"BottomMargin":"0px","PaddingLeft":"10px","PaddingTop":"10px","PaddingRight":"10px","PaddingBottom":"10px","CssClass":null,"ResponsiveClasses":"","PageLinkName":null,"PageLinkCaption":null,"Background":{"Colour":null,"ImageURL":null,"Filter":null,"IsParallax":false,"Image":"","Tint":""},"ImageConfig":{"ImageURL":null,"ObjectFit":"contain","ImageHeight":null,"FrameStyle":null,"BorderRadius":null,"Caption":{"IsActive":false,"Text":null,"SubText":null,"Font":{"Size":null,"Colour":null},"SubFont":{"Size":null,"Colour":null},"Alignment":null,"Position":null,"Margin":null,"BackgroundColour":null,"Blur":false,"Hover":false},"AltText":null,"LinkURL":null,"BottomMargin":0,"PaddingLeft":"10px","PaddingTop":"10px","PaddingRight":"10px","PaddingBottom":"10px","PhoneVisible":true,"TabletVisible":true,"DesktopVisible":true,"CssClass":null,"PageLinkName":null,"PageLinkCaption":null},"IgnoreCache":false}]}],"ColumnSpacing":"0px","BottomMargin":"0px","TopPadding":"0px","IsFullWidth":false,"IsBackgroundFullWidth":false,"Background":{"Colour":null,"ImageURL":null,"Filter":null,"IsParallax":false,"Image":"","Tint":""}}],"PageURL":"https://www.endurancegb.co.uk/Cms/Spaces/RULES/Equine+Testing?version=3","AllVersions":[],"Comments":[],"UpdatedComments":[],"Spaces":[],"IsWatching":false,"LastViewTime":null,"CanEdit":false,"CanPublish":false,"CanCopy":false,"CanCreateTemplate":false,"CanComment":false,"CanReadComments":false,"CanModerateComments":false,"CanLike":false,"CanWatch":false}
