Well, not exactly....don't we syringe cause we know we are using (or going
to use) the horse's resources faster than he can replenish them? There also
may not be time or inclination for the horse to take in what he needs free
choice in the space of each vet check so we make sure he gets a specific
dose cause we know what the workload is gonna be whereas he doesn't.
