Re: [RC] Aversion to syringes, worming, and I'm sure electrolytes - Doug PriceOne option is clicker training. The approach differs by saying you'll get a reward if you tolerate this "bad" thing. Most of the training sequence is the same. Starting with something easy and progressing except you reward after each try. The advantage is you never have to lie to your horse. Even when you give him the bad stuff he gets his reward. Doug. --- Charles <cdy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > My horse has developed an aversion to getting medicine through syringes in his mouth. He had pneumonia earlier this winter and had to get a daily dose of medication. As a result, he tends to see the syringe and put his head in the air. How do you train your horse to accept a syringe of stuff that may not taste very good? ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
