It's not breeding, it's the accepted use of drugs in training in Dubai as stated by the trainer in the BHA press release below. Of course, the Dubai horses aren't tested in Dubai...

It's certainly going to impact on Equestrianism in the Olympics. The IOC have for years tried to lose expensive horse sports, and here's their golden opportunity. It's no good letting it slide as 'Just Endurance' any more...

I wouldn't hold your breath. Already EGB are trying to dismiss this as a storm in a teacup. After all, they have a lot to lose having just clutched greedily at the Meydan sponsorship money.

Now in the Telegraph https://www.facebook.com/cleanendurance/photos/a.293805660764800.1073741828.225016657643701/634413003370729/?type=1

The significance, I think, is in the final veterinary link in the article, about how (ab)use of medication destabilises joints.

I was referring to your comment where you said "There's absolutely no evidence that KS was doped" - I thought perhaps that you were basing that on experience of knowing what it would look like. And yes, as I said before, any post detailing the politics would not stay.

Not right at all. He was to be Clifford's horse. As for this - **Goodness me, so much vitriol in this thread and so many assumptions! Laura's a good rider with a lot of natural talent, I've seen her develop over a number of years from when she was a pony rider but she is still quite...

The politics behind this farce will have any post explaining them removed. But as far as Breisner goes, mission accomplished for Laura - wealthy new owner too ignorant of eventing to know what's good or bad, nice and very expensive new horses. I could almost feel sorry for CS if it wasn't his...

Like a dodgy dealer video - slow motion to hide unlevelness/faults, pony patting, and one jump without the turn after. But then he's not KS to them, he's simply a cash cow.

Agree totally with Alec, Justabob and Popsdosh. Stage fright my **** Googling Kauto's name and images will tell you all you need to know about his ability to handle crowds. Olympia would be a walk in the park for him. Clearly Collet and Breisner have a vested interest in retaining the...

Here's the proof http://www.equinerescuefrance.org/2014/05/enduring-attrition/

I can't quite believe anyone thinks that's acceptable to let a horse that thin start a 160km race. There's an enormous difference between fit and emaciated.

Compiegne - what a disgrace http://www.equinerescuefrance.org/2014/05/enduring-abuse-2/

Under the new TPA, the DOCOM is only relevant for a racehorse in training, going to stud, or being sold to race, or for a horse or pony with an FEI passport going to France to compete. The DOCOM is valuable for 10 days only, then will need to be renewed. EVERY other horse, regardless of...

Sad news regarding the horses too. http://www.brianmeehan.co.uk/latestnews
