Deworming has been fun. Thanks Amanda for helping with it today!

I am using this new liquid version that is the same product as Exodus, and the label says you can feed it, or syringe it. I figured it would be easier to know they got it (and not waste it!) if we just syringe in down. The horses seem displeased enough, that it seemed unlikely they would eat it mixed in food anyway....but Bliss proved the exception; she LICKED the extra off her stall door and was looking for more!

We decided then that it may be easiest to deworm Edgar by feeding it to him....he ate it in a way that made it seem that he was only eating it as he felt sure that this was the last food he would ever receive as he is always on the edge of starvation.

So we are good for deworming for a bit. Next up is vaccinations! I will see if there are any new recommendations for this year, and then will put a sign up sheet in the barn for boarded horses. I plan to get them vaccinated in mid March just like last year. If you plan to vaccinate your own horse, that is fine, but the product will need to be approved.
