Equestrian sports lie at the heart of modern horsemanship, with nearly all horses participating in some form of competition during their lifetimes. From dressage and racing to eventing and show jumping, a broad spectrum of organizations governs these disciplines around the world, with each maintaining its own rules and standards. Across every equestrian sport, the commitment to keeping horses safe and ensuring fair play is a top priority. To protect the health of equine athletes and maintain a level playing field, sport authorities strictly regulate the use of performance-enhancing drugs and substances. The Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI) designates which medications and supplements fall under controlled or banned categories for the sports it oversees. In this article, we will explore the FEI's Equine Prohibited Substances List (EPSL), explain their purpose, and highlight the importance of adherence to these rules. Whether you are a rider, trainer, or veterinarian, understanding these regulations is essential to ensuring ethical competition and promoting the welfare of horses worldwide. Horse owners and caretakers should always check the FEI website before administering medications or other substances to an equine athlete competing at FEI events. If your discipline is not governed by the FEI, contact your local sports organization for more information about the rules and regulations for your sport.

FEI Banned and Controlled Substances for Horses

The FEI's Equine Prohibited Substances List (EPSL) are medications, drugs, and supplements identified as prohibited for use in horses participating in FEI-regulated events. These substances are outlined in the FEI’s Prohibited Substances Database, which is updated regularly and separated into two main categories: [ref n="1"]
  • Banned substances: These substances are deemed by the FEI to have no legitimate use for any reason at any time in competition horses and/or have a high potential for abuse. They are not permitted in the horse at any time, whether in or out of competition.
  • Controlled medications: These substances often have therapeutic or commonly accepted uses in equine medicine but also have the potential to affect performance or pose a welfare risk. If used, they must be withdrawn from the horse’s system within a certain timeframe before entering competition.
Use of both banned substances and controlled medications is prohibited during sanctioned events. Any substance with a similar chemical structure or effect on the horse is also banned. [ref n="1"] For substances categorized by the FEI as banned, no use is ever considered legitimate. Horses that test positive for these performance-enhancing drugs are eliminated from competition and subject to: [ref n="1"]
  • Sanctions
  • Loss of ranking
  • Public notification
For controlled medication, each has a specific withdrawal time that must be observed prior to competition. This means substances in this category cannot be administered to the horse for a certain period before an FEI event. [ref n="1"] Withdrawal times are based on the detection time plus a margin of error: [ref n="2"]
  • Detection time: The period during which the drug or its byproducts stay in the horse's system and are detectable in urine or blood samples.
  • Withdrawal time: The detection time plus a safety margin determined by the attending veterinarian for each individual horse. This period varies depending on factors such as the horse's weight, age, and the sport in which it is competing. This is the amount of time required from the last administration of the substance before the beginning of competition.
Since some substances can be ingested accidentally, elective testing is available at approved laboratories to help horse owners and other individuals understand whether their horse is allowed to compete. A list of these laboratories is available on the FEI website. [ref n="1"] Treating veterinarians can also advise on which substances are prohibited and the respective withdrawal times required. [ref n="1"] Competitors and horse owners should be aware that supplements and other products — including topical treatments — may contain unknown ingredients that could lead to rule violations. [ref n="1"] Even high-quality products can include specific ingredients that are disallowed in certain disciplines. Purchasing feed and supplements from reputable suppliers, such as Mad Barn, is recommended to avoid the risk of unintentional contamination. Always check labels and consult with a veterinarian or your governing body to ensure compliance.

Safety & Fair Play

Restrictions on the use of certain drugs and substances are in place to encourage fair play and promote horse welfare. Altering a horse's abilities through use of prohibited substances compromises the horse's safety and puts them at risk for complications and adverse side effects. [ref n="3"] Doping also erodes the integrity of the sport as a whole and diminishes the achievements of equine athletes who are competing without artificial enhancements. [ref n="3"]

Fédération Équestre Internationale

The Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI) is the international governing body for English equestrian sports. Recognized by the International Olympic Committee, the FEI supervises and regulates various disciplines, ensuring consistent standards around the world. Disciplines overseen by the FEI include: The FEI also provides oversight of horse welfare, promoting best practices in training, competition, and veterinary care. One key responsibility of the FEI is publishing and regularly updating a prohibited substances database, made available for riders, trainers, horse owners, caretakers, and veterinarians to consult when making medical decisions for competition horses. [ref n="1"] It’s important to remember that rules evolve as new evidence and research come to light. Each competitor is responsible for staying up to date with the most current regulations applicable to their sport and competition jurisdiction. [ref n="1"] [madbarn p="promobar"]

Summary

For many horses and riders, competing at FEI events is the pinnacle of equestrian achievement. Keeping these competitions fair and safe is the main priority, and understanding which performance-enhancing substances are prohibited is an important part of ensuring fair play.
  • The FEI's prohibited substances rules change as new information emerges. Always check the FEI website or your sport’s governing body before administering any substance to a horse.
  • Banned substances are those that have no therapeutic value or pose a high risk for performance enhancement and must never be used in competition horses.
  • Controlled medications have legitimate uses but must not be administered during the designated withdrawal period prior to an event.
  • These FEI regulations protect equine athletes and uphold fair play.
