Effective December 1, 2014, and for the 2015 competition year, the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has implemented withdrawal practices following Intraarticular Injections and Shockwave Therapy as a result of rule changes passed at the USEF Annual Meeting in January, 2014. For Intraarticular Injections a four day withdrawal time from competition has been instituted, while a three day withdrawal from competition for Shockwave Therapy has been implemented. For more information see the
2015 Guidelines for Drugs and Medications.
Additionally, for the 2015 competition year, the USEF has created an Online Medication Report Form for Therapeutic Administration of Forbidden Substances, which can be accessed
