Worming and sulking?

[Gingerbird]

Does anyone else have a horse that sulks after he's been wormed?

Every blinking time I shove a syringe down James throat he instantly gives me that 'how could you' look, refuses to look at you, won't put his face near you, then stands in his stable and refuses to eat his tea or haynet just incase there is anymore nasty wormer in there!

Its so extreme its unbelievable, needless to say all his grub is gone by the morning though - he must just be trying to make us feel guilty!

Hehe - I can't get the syringe near pony so just put in feed. But I do get the 'look; when mane pulling....or in fact just brushing face!!

He just wants to make you feel bad!!

I'm sure thats what it is! Probably the minute we leave the yard he's stuffing his supper down!

He won't even take a carrot or apple he's sulking so much - talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face!

Hehe !!! They are funny about things like that!!!Sounds like a character there! (And as soon as you go, the nose is in the haynet I am sure!)

LOL, my 3yr old is like that! We put it in her feed now though so it's less obvious but she has a major huff every time she gets jabbed for something.

LOL my horse always sulks and also refuses treats etc from me afterwards. Then I know he is in a real grump as he is normally a pig!

Yep my mare. She literally has the wobbly jutting bottom lip after.

I am so pleased that other horses do it!!!!

He's normally such a darling on the yard I thought he must just have the most stinking attitude ever underneath!
