W The SouthWest Chat


elcome to the June issue of SouthWest Horse Trader. This month features Feed & Stable. For months, the controversy over the sale of


CBD oil for human consumption has been coming to a head with people on both sides of the issue fighting very passion- ately. The use of CBD oil in equines is also heating up. Just this month a few association’s drug policies have already been updated. This before reliable testing has even been de- veloped. The American Paint Horse Association released this


statement: Cannabidiol—commonly known as CBD oil—is now classified as a Class 2 drug by the Association of Rac- ing Commissioners International. As such, it is considered a forbidden substance by APHA and is prohibited for use in horses competing in APHA-approved events, per rule SC- 085.C.1 in the APHA Rule Book.

Horses competing under USEF rules who test positive for natural cannabinoids, synthetic cannabinoids and other cannabimimetics will be considered in violation of GR4 beginning September 1, 2019. It is important to note that analytical methods


are being implemented to detect CBD and similar cannabinoids. Both USEF and FEI list natural cannabinoids, synthetic cannabinoids, and other cannabimimetics as prohibited substances. Caution is important when using these products as their composition widely varies and may not be repre- sentative of their label claims as there is no regu- latory oversight from the FDA, nor guarantee of their safety in horses. Time will tell how the other associations will


rule. In the meanwhile, lobbying on both sides of this subject will continue! w
