Important Announcement Regarding the Use of NSAIDs - effective 4/1/2010
February 17, 2010
USHJA would like to ensure that our members are aware of the recently approved rule changes regarding drugs and
medications. Beginning December 1, 2011, exhibitors may give only one NSAID, rather than two, to horses in competition
due to the harmful effects overuse of these substances can have on the animal's health and well-being. (GR410.1)
PLEASE NOTE: In preparation for this change, the Federation Board of Directors approved an interim rule (GR410.4),
which will be in effect from April 1, 2010 through November 30, 2011. Members will be permitted to give two NSAIDs in
accordance with current rules regarding the administration of NSAIDs, provided an NSAID Declaration Form is filed with
the show office prior to the horse competing.
The complete rule change reads as follows:
GR410 Equine Drugs and Medications, The Therapeutic Substance Provisions.
[Chapter 4. Drugs and Medications] Effective 4/1/10:
4. Restrictions concerning the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are as follows:
Effective April 1, 2010 and through November 30, 2011, at which time only one of the substances listed in (a) through (f)
above will be permitted, a maximum of two substances listed in (a) through (f) above are permitted to be present in the
same plasma or urine sample, only if both substances are reported on a Federation NSAID Disclosure Form and filed
with the competition prior to the horse competing (GR411 does not apply).
Under the current USEF rules, no more than two of the seven approved and quantitatively restricted NSAIDs are permitted
in a horse while competing at a Federation licensed competition. The one exception to this rule is that currently
phenylbutazone (bute) and flunixin (Banamine) are a forbidden combination, and are never permitted together in the horse
at the time of a competition.

Indications for Tildren® and results of clinical tests
Thanks to its ability to regulate excessive remodelling of the bone, tiludronate has been successfully tested on horses
in the treatment of two major degenerative diseases that cause chronic lameness: spavins and navicular syndrome.
Back Pain
Back problems are a major cause of poor performance and gait abnormalities especially in athletic horses. Among
the population of horses referred to our center, back pain represents the first owner’s complaint. Various clinical
manifestations have been reported, such as reduced performance, changes in behaviour, bucking, resistance to
saddling-up, back or neck stiffness, ill-defined lameness… But the diagnosis of back pain can be a real challenge for
the equine practioner because of the difficulty of objective assessment and identification of the cause of the pain. In
our general approach of horses presented with a complaint of performance problems related to back pain, we always
examine the whole dorsal region. If lameness is present we usually investigate separately its possible origin. Back
pain mainly originates from bone alteration in the spinous processes, synovial joints or vertebral bodies, muscle pain
being most often secondary. Improvements in diagnostic imaging procedures now allow identification of several
lesions, with kissing spines, synovial intervertebral arthropathy and vertebral spondylosis being the most significant
lesions responsible for back discomfort in horses.
