So I have had my horse for 2 months now and today was deworming day. I have never done this before and thought, just stick it in his mouth and squirt, right. Well it took me over an hour to get it done. First I tried tying him to a post but he got so worked up and nearly broke his halter again. Then i just tried holding onto his halter. I got it done this way, but in the process he rammed my head in between the fence and himself, nearly breaking my hand and riping my arm out of the socket. I have never had a headache this bad. Are lots of horses hard to deworm??? Is there an easier way???? or do I just need a helper. Normally he is very respectful of my space, but he was all over me and pushing me into the fence. I did feel bad for him because after it was all done he put his head on the ground with his butt in the air pushing his head along the snow, like some dogs do after a bath. Any tips on making this any easier would be great.
