Medication Declaration

The MDF will require the trainer to list any long acting medications administered within six months prior to departure for KSA as well as all other medications administered within four weeks of departure.

The Veterinary Inspection (IN RIYADH)

All horses will be subject to veterinary inspections prior to their race by a JCSA appointed veterinarian. The examination will include a trot up in hand on a firm level surface and may also include an examination under tack at the trot, both in a straight line and in a circle. Routine exercise will be monitored by the appointed JCSA appointed veterinarian. Further examination procedures may be performed to help assess the musculoskeletal system to quantify potential risk. Connections of all horses are obliged to cooperate with this process. The club reserves the right to refuse any horse to run if it is deemed a risk to itself, other horses in the field, riders or the public. Upon arrival into KSA, all horses will have blood and hair samples taken for analysis for prohibited substances, including those substances that are prohibited at all times and those that are considered to have a legitimate therapeutic use.
