🚨 Did you know YOUR horse could test positive for a banned steroid just from eating hay, grass, or weeds in the pasture? A shocking new study has revealed that horses can ingest ecdysterone, an anabolic steroid on the banned substances list, through completely normal feedstuffs — including hay, common weeds, and even some commercial feeds.



In this video, we dive deep into the research from Queensland University of Technology and explore:

✅ How ecdysterone ends up in hay, weeds, and horse feeds

✅ Why innocent horses may test positive in drug screenings

✅ The risk this poses to riders, trainers, and competitors worldwide

✅ What regulators, vets, and horse owners need to do next

✅ How YOU can protect your horse from accidental positives



This discovery raises serious questions about horse doping rules, feed safety, and the future of fair play in equestrian sport. Could your horse fail a test without ever being doped? The answer might shock you.



Whether you’re a horse owner, rider, trainer, or simply care about equine welfare, this is a MUST-WATCH.
