Hungarian Midget Woman Location: Midwest	I am considering giving my horse a calmer when he is stalled during a big show as he sometimes gets nervous away from home overnight- Are calmers like this going to test positive under AQHA rules? http://www.horse.com/item/animed-vita-calm/BWA59/

Thanks, I will keep that in mind, but I already bought this stuff lol He's not bad, so if it's illegal I will just not use it. Edited by barrelracr131 2014-07-31 9:13 AM

I did send an email... the show is a while away, so I have time. If I don't hear back, I will call. :) I was just curious if anyone here knew offhand.

I have heard good things about the cookies. He's really not that bad, but he will be stalled for an extended period and I am trying to keep him as chill as possible (within the rules and naturally).

Hungarian Midget Woman Location: Midwest	Update regarding product in the OP: Spoke with USEF, they were very helpful. They said while within the letter of the law, using products with L-tryptophan for calming during competition violates the spirit of the rule. Also- do NOT use Quietex or anything with valerian root. This will result in a positive test. They suggest withdrawing this product such as this for 7 days prior to competition due to erring on the side of caution, as she was not sure what the proprietary "Yea-Sacc" ingredient contained. I am specifically asking because I will most likely be running in the IBRA Nationals show, and they follow AQHA guidlines. Thanks all!
