Abstract
To protect the health and welfare of horses, veterinarians must legitimately use therapeutic medications. Many drugs are appropriately used to treat various disease conditions of horses, yet many of them have the ability to affect athletic performance or leave residues in tissues. For performance horses, the primary reason to have drug rules is to ensure fair competition and to protect the welfare of the horses and riders. When medications are administered to horses intended for human consumption, it is the responsibility of the veterinarian to ensure that violative drug residues do not occur. If horses are to receive proper veterinary care, suitable information on drug detection times must be available to equine practitioners.
