Feeding one off calmers

[Gorgeous George]

I am going to give George a one off calmer when we go to the show on Sat, i'm sure he doesn't need it, but it will probably help me more than anything (perhaps I should take it

). It is a paste (equine america so kalm) so can I mix it in a tiny bit of feed as I'm hopeless at syringing it down their throats

- thanks.

I know someone who used to basically use an apple corer to make holes in an apple then put wormer in.

I’m sure you can add it to a bit of feed but unless your horse is very foody I doubt he will eat it, according to my old horse it was very, very yucky! Best to just get it down the throat quick by syringing it in, in my opinion.

Would definitely syringe it - can you find someone to help you do it?

I think you would be best to use the syringe , it's dead easy , just keep squirting and George will just gobble it up as it comes out

, it's only a third of the syringe you give so its not much

, good luck at the show , what you doing on him ?

 

[Sprout]

No advice - just wanted to wish you Good Luck.

It's only a third of the syringe (lot less than a wormer) so probably quicker and easier to just syringe it in just in case he wont eat it.

Good luck with show

ok, I'll give it a go, but George is very foody, he will eat a full syringe of wormer mixed in a handful of hi-fi!!

sueandtoto we are doing prelim dressage at writtle college, it seems that the classes are really full, the show starts at 9am and I'm in class 3 and my time is not till 1.15 - sounds like lots of scarey competition!
