Have you, or any other guy you know (because I sure have) ever run off at the mouth to "impress" a new girl with your bravado? Sure you have. Could that clip be explained by that context? Sure it could.

That's respectfully BS.. He is running his mouth to prove how great he is by being an Ahole? Very impressive.. Explained and condoned? Please the team including all the vet's and farriers should be accountable.

Accountable for what?

For giving EVERY single horse a type of medication that should only be used vs. abused when indicated. You use medication when indicated not as part of a regiment. Every horse in the barn doesnt need clenbuetrol because there is hay in the air. Every horse doesnt need gastrogard or double doses of Adaquan just because it worked on a particular horse. It simple is redefining horsemanship to who has the most stuff. And that is helping create super trainers as much as anything else.

When this stuff stops being the norm especially with as you describe super trainers things will be better. It's hard enough finding the nefarious stuff but isnt this stuff just as ridiculous when EVERY horse needs all this crap? I am sure you werent taught to give every horse the same crap regardless if needed or indicated. It BS but I respect others opinions who think its the norm I just dont see how it helps the sport or the breed for that matter.

You dont know anything specific on the horses in question so how can you make these judgments?

The idea that legal medications are somehow harming horses is counter to basically all medical evidence.

Gastrogard never hurts horses, ever.
Adequan never hurts horses, ever.

It is funny I read internet experts telling me that pin firing and freeze firing and leg paint and internal blisters and all the old methods are all archaic. I also read all the people saying that all the new methods of shock waving and medications are all bad too.

Makes me wonder where I should get the horses who dont get sick or hurt?
