Then it must have something in it obviously that can affect performance

 

[Eira]

I believe it is because it is a steroid cream?

 

[Irishcobs]

It's not a steroid cream as you can buy it from any shop, not over the counter.
Just looking through the ingredients on a pot the only thing I can think that could be banned is Benzyl Benzoate.

That's correct & that's why it's on the banned list.

However if you;ve been using it for mud fever or something I wouldn't worry about competing at your local RC /PC type events !!

 

[Chestnutter]

but it's great for using on small cuts and other things like that, why would it be banned?! how could that help to improve performance..?! crazy!

 

[gails]

How silly, it is the do all remedy for most things, including babys bums.

Ridicualous, perhaps we need a petition to get it off thebanned list :S

Personally I think its the most vile stuff out. It makes a horrid sticky mess, its impossible to remove with scrubbing and its the one thing all my horse react badly too.

Yup defo should be banned.

 

[Lollii]

I think it is fantastic stuff, I put it on all cuts, mudfever and even on a small sarcoid which over the summer has all but disappeared because I have put it on everyday, it also keeps the flies off every cut - it is brilliant stuff!

I don't care if it is banned, that is just rubbish!

 

[lexibell]

Thanks guys, I made a passing comment today about stocking up as my boy always gets mudfever and I was told it was a banned substance!! I am always cautious of banned products, not that we are planning to enter hickstead next year!! Thanks for clearing that one up, knew I could rely on you all x

QR- I'm shocked. Sudocream is great for nicks and the likes of rubbed withers!

.
It's the only thing i know that clears up my horses rubbed withers quickly.

 

[Zebedee]

As I said, if you are competing at local levels I really don't think it's anything you need to worry about.

 

[rocketdog69]

I believe that there is a steroid in it.

 

[Fransurrey]

It's not actually licensed for use on horses, but it's certainly in my first aid kit and accepted by vets as a treatment (but they can't prescribe it). I can't imagine that using a blob on a cut would show up on a test, but there are many 'banned substances' that simply do not make sense to me!

It's also fantastic if your armpits react badly to a waxing. I had to raid the horsey first aid kit for three nights running.
