I frequently give both my horses a syringe full of pure applesauce for no apparent reason. I also do it after every tube of de-wormer they get. Maybe I'm lucky, but both horses are good at taking a syringe as they're never sure if it's yucky or yummy. I think they're both optimists! ;-) BTW, both my horses are grey Arabians.

Hi Dyane,
Maybe it's the grey color but I had the same problem. The trick that
finally worked was to keep the old used wormer holder. Put the new
wormer in the back pocket and put the old one in the corner of the
mouth (big fight) keep at it till I got it in her mouth and get her
to chew on it a few times. Drop the old one and bring in the new. Get
it way back and her  chewing and squirt it in. Don't forget to keep
the freshly used container for next time.
