Animal Welfare & Controlled Medications Policy

CM801 Animal Welfare & Controlled Medications Policy The welfare of our show horses is of utmost importance to our industry. It is imperative that the health of the horse comes before any competition. Horse Show Management and ESC have the right to randomly drug test any horse on the show grounds, and may be required if animal welfare is of concern. ESC will provide results of those tests to government authorities where required by law. Notify ESC when animal welfare drug testing is needed by calling 1-855-Equine1, Option 1.
