Horse Druggy       
Jason Stough
Production enhancing drugs have the headlines of all major league publications for months. Baseball is not the only sport where these drugs are used.

Table tennis is the new sport, kidding. Horseracing and drugs is no joke. An above par racing trainer recently had his case for horse doping cut in half.

His name is Nigel McGrath and he was found guilty last year. His crime: administering propantheline bromide to three horses. The drug is very powerful.

The horse community was in an uproar when Nigel’s secret surfaced. The judge of the case on another hand thought he was misunderstood. Nigel accidentally gave his horses the drug.

Many cases are because of ignorance. Before you take something find out if it is illegal. In competitions many officials want a fair debut, meaning no drugs are allowed. Nigel did not read the fine print.

His ignorance has cost him eighteen months until he can own a horse let alone enter a competition with a particular horse.



Do you have something to give back to the horse community? Perhaps you have written a horse oriented article, or have some thoughts on a subject you would like to share? Send it to us using our Post a Feedback
