Hey haven't been on here in a while but felt like posting this for anyone (like myself) who has problems with deworming their horses with paste. Today I was trying to get the tube into her mouth and she seemed like she was going to crack her neck trying to get away. So in the end I had to mix it in her feed and watched her to make sure she finished it. So I looked up ways online to get her to take it (for future references) and found out something I hadnt thought of. Use an old syringe from a previous deworming, if you have one, and fill it with something sweet (like honey) and start feeding it to them from it. If they won't let you stick it in their mouth at first just squirt a little out onto their lips. When I did this after a few times of wiping it on her lips she was trying to get the syringe in her mouth to get the honey. So if you do this regularly when you need to worm them they'll willing accept it and think of it as a 'bad batch of the sweet stuff' and its a good treat for them. Hope this helped someone!

^ I've done this with molasses. Now he ALWAYS opens wide for wormer!

I guess I am lucky... Every one of my horses takes wormer with zero fuss. I don't even halter them, I just walk up and put one hand on their nose and push the wormer in with the other.... They don't try to evade or escape, they just stand there.

Another wormer tip is to ALWAYS make sure the horse's mouth is empty of all hay, grass and grain. If it has anything in it's mouth, it can "ball" the wormer up with the leftovers in the mouth, and make it super easy to spit out.
