HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE MEDICATION FOR HORSES
3 years 4 months ago
Can a hypertension pill be given to a racehorse? We probably need to get a Vet to issue the script, right. They are Schedule 3 drugs only available with a script.
What type of pill as there's literally dozens of them available.
How about a BETA-BLOCKER?
It can slow your heart rate, makes you less active, even less nervous too as some performers use it if they are stressing before a stage-show.
THE STORY
Two men banned for 10 years after doping beaten horse with beta blocker
Ladies First doped at Newcastle track stables in 2018
The favourite finished eighth of nine runners

Two men have been banned from racing for 10 years at an independent disciplinary panel hearing of the British Horseracing Authority over the alleged doping of Ladies First at Newcastle in September 2018.

The men, named by the BHA as Neil Waggot and Stephen Walker, were caught on CCTV footage apparently feeding the horse in the hours before she ran in a one-mile handicap while she was in the racecourse stables. The horse subsequently tested positive for Timolol, a beta blocker.
Ladies First, who was the 6-4 favourite, was beaten 22 lengths in eighth place of the nine runners. She was disqualified and trainer Mick Easterby fined the token amount of 1p, simply because of his position and obligations as the horse’s trainer. The BHA made no allegation that he administered any prohibited substance, directly or indirectly. Written reasons will be published in due course.
A spokesperson for Newcastle racecourse said: “Newcastle racecourse takes all matters of security and integrity very seriously and meet all licensing requirements in that regard.
“Following this incident in 2018, the individuals concerned were removed from the racecourse as soon as their actions had come to light and the racecourse has provided all relevant information to the BHA, as and when requested.
“We look forward to seeing the written summary of the hearing, and will work with the relevant bodies to implement any amendments to security procedures that are deemed necessary.”

Ivermectin works well in horses and humans too?
