And how have you managed the horse workwise.
PS I am sure I will get shot down in flames (yet again zzzzzzz).

Can I just point out that it isn't cheating to compete on bute unless it's against the rules? I don't and never have, but it would not be cheating at any riding club event or unaffiliated dressage that I have been to.
Horse and hound seem to report it is cheating to compete Riding Club on bute.....

The BHS seem to think it is cheating too..... From their guidance at competing in a BRC championship from the BHS website......
"Never make sudden
changes to your horse’s diet and never at a competition. You must also take into
consideration any medication which your horse may be on. There are strict rules
covering the substances which you can use to treat your horse when competing. There
are many prohibitive substances, including Bute, which could result in you be
eliminated from the competition if they are found in your horse’s system during the
competition. Make sure you adhere strictly to the withdrawal periods. If you are in any
doubt whether you are using a prohibitive substance check with your vet."
