I thought this was a very good artical on Ace.

"There are four big sedatives that a vet uses for average horses: Ace, Dormosedan, Torbogeisic, and Rompun. Ketamine can be used also but that is usually just for sedation prior to surgery. Of those drugs, Ace is the only one that is not a controlled substance. The other drugs require that the vet record how much was given and to whom.


Acepromazine, medetomidine (aka Dormosedan) and xylazine (aka rompun) Are NOT controlled substances in the US. Just the ketamine. A vet can hand out ace, domitor/dormosedan and rompun to anyone who asks
