Problem Lusitano

[Caol Ila]

Great update!

I had asked my vet if we could put my fencewalker on SSRIs, and he looked at me like I was crazy. That was a few years ago, however.

Amazing turn around OP, well done for perservering as Im sure some people might have suggested to PTS which is truly awful considering the incredible turnaround of your beautiful boy. Enjoy him x

Would SSRIs be banned for competition horses, does anyone know?

I'd be surprised if they were but I'd be a lot more surprised if anyone was testing for them. The only work long term though, it's not like a magnesium shot.

Definitely banned on the FEI clean sport database, and almost certainly would be part of testing.

Good news for you and your horse.

Bobby1987 if you are still active on here would you be able to direct message me? I have a Lusitano very much like you have described and would love to chat to share tips and tricks. I'm finding others who haven't experienced a horse like this before just simply don't get it as the normal training approaches don't work for him and it's a relatively rare breed where I live! I'm new here and can't figure out how to message yet
