Super Hit had Butorphanol, Delomidine, Romifidine, and Xylatine in its system at the time of his sale, according to court documents. Testified an expert: In my 38 years of practice, I have never come across a drug screen such as this where the horse has been administered so many different medications at the same time.
Ann Romney found herself briefly the subject of a lawsuit at whose core, according to court documents, was a heavily-medicated horse.
Romney and her trainers sold the horse, Super Hit, in 2008 for $125,000. And Super Hit had what a prominent veterinarian described as a staggering quantity of drugs in its system at the time of its examination before being sold, according to a toxicology report that's part of the lawsuit over the horse's condition.
The lawsuit, which was mentioned in a New York Times story last month, was filed in 2010 by a woman in San Diego who had bought Super Hit from Romney and her trainers, Jan and Amy Ebeling. The woman, Catherine Norris, sued Romney for fraud after the horse allegedly proved physically incapable of performing as a dressage horse.

She'd be in a hell of a lot of trouble if she was involved in throughbred horse racing. Drugging up horses is a crime these days.
Of course know nothing Ann is too rich to know!

(20,234 posts)She retroactively sold the horse several years prior to that sale, and shouldn't be held responsible for what happened to the horse after that.
