Understanding FEI Show Safe Standards

Navigating the regulations for FEI show safe supplements can be complex. It’s crucial for supplements to avoid any calming or energizing effects, which can lead to positive test results and competition bans. For instance, in 2017, two US riders faced bans after testing positive for ractopamine, a banned substance found in "Soothing Pink," a supplement produced by Cargill Inc. This incident underscores the importance of selecting supplements from reputable companies with strict manufacturing standards.

The Importance of Manufacturing Integrity

Choosing supplements from companies with robust manufacturing practices is essential for ensuring safety and compliance. Many companies outsource production, which can complicate ingredient transparency and quality control. Excel Supplements maintains stringent in-house manufacturing practices to ensure that our products meet the highest standards.

The Reality of Natural and Herbal Supplements

Natural or herbal supplements are not guaranteed to be FEI show safe. Ingredients commonly used in calming products, such as Chamomile and Lavender, are prohibited in USEF and FEI competitions. The FEI does not officially test or approve herbal products, so it’s vital for manufacturers to ensure compliance independently.

Banned and Controlled Substances

The FEI categorizes substances into two main groups under the Equine Anti-Doping and Controlled Medication Regulations (EADCMR):

  • Banned Substances: These have no legitimate use in equine medicine or pose a high abuse potential, such as human antidepressants and stimulants. They must be absent from horses at all times.

  • Controlled Medications: These substances have therapeutic properties but are prohibited in competition. They include common medications that might enhance performance depending on dosage and timing.

FEI’s Clear Message: "IF IN ANY DOUBT, DO NOT GIVE IT TO YOUR HORSE"

Athletes and support teams must work closely with veterinarians knowledgeable about FEI and USEF regulations when administering any substances. The FEI advises against using supplements with unclear or questionable ingredients. Responsibility for ensuring that no banned substances are administered lies with the horse’s caretakers.
