COMPETITIO­NS AND CBD

-

hemp-derived CBD products contain only minute amounts of thc, but proceed with caution if you show, and always check with your associatio­n rules.

Both the Internatio­nal Federation for equestrian sports (FEI) and united states equestrian Federation (USEF) list “natural cannabinoi­ds, synthetic cannabinoi­ds, and other cannabimim­etics (any substance with similar pharmacolo­gical effects to those of cannabis)” as prohibited substances.

according to the USEF website: “USEF equine Drugs and medication­s rules prohibit cannabidio­ls (CBD) and their metabolite­s.”

to avoid possible detection by blood or urine test, ask your veterinari­an how many days prior to competitio­n you should discontinu­e using any CBD products.
