No. There is no "diagnostic" use for cobra venom in the horse, approved, not approved, experimental, or otherwise. It's not used to block feet.
It's ONLY known use in a horse is as an illegal intra-articular injection as a joint painkiller, used ONLY as it is undetectable via current testing. It is a Class A substance, of zero approved use in the horse and banned from being on the racetrack premises.
