TRD: If they need to use it to be safe then they shouldnt be in those events because there horse isnt ready for it.

I don't Quietex etc, but I know that some people use it because they THINK it relaxes a horse. Showing, Parades, and so on can be stressful even if the rider can keep the horse safe. Some also use it as stress/ulcer prevention, not with the intent to sedate for performance. If you are going to dose yourself with something to relax, I strongly suggest a gatorita (in moderation or course).
