No, horse's tastebuds are not deranged. I prepare to do battle getting it into mine. Specially my morgan mare, who has lifted me off the ground, where I hung from one arm wrapped around her nose, the other hand hanging onto the syringe. 1st time I ever tried to deworm her, I ended up shooting the entire tube out the side of her mouth onto the wall! 😆

Oh Mary thank you for this. The image in my head had me cracking up! Plus, I adore horses.

Could you spread the paste on a food shit loves and get her to take it that way? I hid a pill in peanut butter spread on an apple for my doggo's heart deworming med once.

The only food she loves more than grass is senior feed, which in her system is more like rocket fuel than food!

What I do now is put long lead over her nose, trick her into lowering her head a bit & stand on the lead. From the lowered position she can't get the leverage she needs to pick me up.

Ahh okay. I feel like being a pet owner ups your creativity level, surpassed only by (involved) parenthood.
