i believe that countney would never do such a thing and that this is such an unfortunate and terrible situation. she is such an honest girl and would never drug her horses it is always sad when the horses test positive but i truly believe that she had no idea about any of it. i wish there was a way to know for sure who is innocent so we could save the teams from elimination.

This is terrible situation. Doping is an unconscionable act and the fact that it can be done by someone else to one’s horse just makes it more difficult to enforce against. And mistakes happen too. Who can really tell?

This is absolutely awful! If the drug intake was purposful, they have shamed the U.S. The horse may have hurt its joints, ligaments, or bones, and because it could not feel the pain of the injury. Drugging horses, on purpose or not, must stop!
