I'm not saying no one has done anything illegal ever.
People have watched someone block their horse's foot at a rodeo. I am just tired of it because, no matter what anyone says, there were certain people targeted. Those people aren't winning because they are doping. They are winning because of ability and horsepower. And the comments that I've heard..."I won't buy my card because I won't give my horse what those other people are giving to win." I can guarantee my friends who have made the NFR are not doping their horses.
If people were doing such bad things to these horses, they wouldn't perform for years and years at that level.
Also, because people seem to think that it is horrible if one of these wpra girls uses something like ventipulmin or stack bute and banamine, even before the drug policy, yet how many people on this website talk about how much they use ventipulmin right now. My vet has advised me to stack to help with pain from an abscess.
I don't have an issue with the policy and being inforced, I just am tired of people thinking many/most who win in rodeo are dope fiends.
This is exactly the point I keep trying to make. Horses are not going to be able to perform for years, when you see girls being able to run the same horse year after year....then they must be doing something right!!! There is no way they are doping them to run faster, those horses are getting the best care possible.
I think the futurities would be a great place to test. Very different deal.
This actually reminds me of a point that I had thought of earlier today.
Does anyone think they are planning to test at The American? | |

Nope.
That would be another great venue to test.....just because there is so much on the line.
Which world do you think does more of the 'bad' illegal stuff, futurities or rodeos? | |

Honestly, I think that if you showed up at enough big futurities, you'd find that most of the rodeo girls can hold their own when it comes to the pharmaceuticals... | |

Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | I'm not saying that they aren't using anything....but the things that I know go on at the racetrack, a rodeo horse isn't going to hold together for years. Their body can't take that abuse. You could very easily get by with it on a futurity on with a limited number of runs for a year. | |
