rehab
When a horse is taken out of training due to sn injury, Do vets and trainers use some of the no-no drugs and hormones for rehab and aid to correct the injury? If they do, is it an accepted pratice? Will this show in testing or does it leave the system over time? How long does it take? I guess what Im wondering is why not give these wonderful animals a chance to do what they want and lead the pack. Im not promoting something that would give them a boost on raceday just something that could help correct a problem without endangering the animal.

When a horse is in rehab you do what you can to help the horse recover from their injury and return to full athletic function as you would a human athlete: physical therapy, conditioning, hyperbaric oxygen, etc. I do lots of therapeutic massage and manipulative techniques on horses to help improve their athletic performance.
"Hormones and no-no drugs" is a broad, open statement that really doesn't mean anything. Many drugs are beneficial and good for the horse, are essential to excellent quality veterinary practice, and are used for the health and wellness of the animal on a daily basis at the track, but are not allowed on race day. "How long do they last, can they be tested for". Yes. You might want to review the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium regulations, FAQ's and site and familiarize yourself with therapeutic medications, use and withdrawal times here http://www.rmtcnet.com/ And go to TheHorse.com and sign up free, then enter "rehabilitation" and "raceday medications" to learn more about it.

I generally use crack, heroin, crystal meth, EPO, elephant juice and LSD when rehabing my horses. And I found that marijuana mixed with hay is great to stimulate their appetites.

I presume ice boxes and magic shoes are in the offing for most laid-up horses.
