Important Member News
The Federation has taken a stance on the use of steroids and hence on 11th April 2011 resolved that steroids should not be used in yearlings to be offered for sale. It is the Federation's view that vendors should make written notification of such treatments to the selling agents, and disclosure then made to the public prior to auction. However, it is understood that in rare circumstances steroids may have been administered as a necessity for the health of an individual yearling.
