Probably not, which means regardless of whether a horse needs it or not you give it....which is what nearly all U.S. trainers do.

i've seen the 'they don't use it in europe' argument before...but it seems every euro horse is on it within minutes of touching down at the airport when they fly in for the bc. i guess trainers suddenly aren't so hesitant once they are allowed to use it. maybe it's the north american climate that makes horses into bleeders.
