What our vet says
"Worming your horse can be stressful for both of you if your horse is syringe adverse. But it's a vital job and someone's got to do it! A few tips - always know your horses weight, practice handling your horse's nose, have the correct dose ready to go, administer in an area which makes it easy to clean up any spills and wash your hands afterwards."
