do vets just hand over the sedative if you ask for it, or do they insist on being present?

What kind of sedation? ACP, Sedalin or actual injection of the vet?

Think it depends, my chap has to be injected by the vet but I do know some people who give theirs sedaline paste.

They wont let you inject, but they willsned you some ACP or Sedaline.
I tried Sedaline on Arch once though and it did nothing at all.
Vet has to come out now and jab him.

not actually sure what.... just strong stuff as he was very dangerous when tried to clip him. He is going to HT on sunday, so needs his haircut

I would suggest the first time getting the horse injected - i gave my mare a whole tube of sedalin and she still pinned me in the stable !!! her adrenalin seems to over ride it !!
if you can have it done by sedalin though get a prescription from your vet and get it off a website - will save you about £8 a tube !!

Needs injecting, and the vet will wait around a bit too in case you need a top up, so if you want your horse clipped for sunday you need to be calling them now.

Used Sedalin to take edge off OH's mare the other week - did get more done than last year but TBH when it got the the awkward bits (under neck, top of neck and between front legs) the reaction was just the same as when we did her without last time.
We've decided for next year to try rugging her well to restrict hair growth and if that doesn't work sedation by the vet - just not worth the risks to horse/handle IMHO.
The sedalin does just get handed over but on does instructions it states that giving more will not sedate the animal deeper only for a longer time

Totally agree, but sometimes the problem is too deeply rooted to completely overcome. Safety first and all that!

My horse has to be sedated not because he is naughty but because he has very sensitive skin (suffers from sweet itch + skin is v pink) and he just finds it too ticklish and twitches uncontrollably. IV sedation is the best option for both of us.
