Training Tip: De-Worming Tip

Most people have trouble de-worming their horses because of the way they approach the horse. They sneak up to the horse and then jam the syringe in his mouth, which makes the horse defensive. Teach your horse to willingly accept de-wormer by desensitizing him with the de-wormer and teaching him to associate it with feeling comfortable. You’ll do that by approaching the horse with the de-wormer and then taking it away when he shows a sign of relaxing. You can even coat the de-worming syringe with something sweet, such as honey or molasses, to help the horse associate the de-wormer with a pleasant taste.
