This is exactly my view .
I would never inflict the injection on one of my horses unless we driven to it by circumstances.

And yet you know that view is subjective, based on personal experience...? Other people's experience would favour injection as the default method of choice.
I'm not saying injection is clearly superior - I think both methods have their place. Neither method is 100% foolproof, neither is 100% ideal under all circumstances (it depends on many factors, including the horse), but the chances of anything going wrong are very small with both methods.
If injection was objectively inferior in most cases, or was a cause for concern about welfare, it wouldn't be used by vets and the guidelines would have to be changed.

As already stated, this thread was started by MissSBird, on 23-08-09 11:03. I wonder how the OP feels about seeing such a sad and difficult time for her brought up again after all this time?
I wonder, too, if it may perhaps have been more prudent, Linzi, to have started a new thread for you to ask for advice regarding your own very difficult situation so that members may reply to you directly rather than replying to the original post from over five years ago.
