The best way to go would be to regulate the vets ok? The notion that these folks have on here most of the time where the trainer is injecting horses is quite funny. Most of these guys don't have any idea what does what. You honestly think they take a syringe themselves and fill it full of something and inject it? I'm trying to picture some trainers I know reading a chemistry book and then trying to get the stuff and fill a syringe and know when and where and how to give the stuff and its pretty funny!!!!! Some of these guys still don't know how to work email!!!!!!!!
The vets do the work, not the trainers.

This made me laugh. I am trying to picture someone like Cole Norman with a bunson burner, syringe and a book. That is funny right there.

I can see where regulating the vet can be a viable solution. But who is the person that calls the vet in? I am sure the trainer would like to know what the vet is doing. I am sure the vet gives the trainer a bill. So the trainer has to have some idea as to what is going on here. You cant just turn a blind eye to what the vet is doing and put all the blame on the vet.
