Head strong or head shy horse?

Do you have a problem dosing your horse in the mouth with syringes for worming or other medicines?

Perhaps you put off worming generally and possibly put the health of your horse at risk due to your own difficulties with administering treatments.

Ideally horses should be wormed using the appropriate chemical group to kill the various and different parasites, in the region of 6 - 8 times a year (sometimes even using a double dose as in the case of tapeworm treatment usually given in April & August). Parasite damage caused by failing to treat is certainly harmful and in some cases fatal. Perhaps your horse just spits the paste out or is a 'monster' when confronted with a syringe.

EASY WORMER DRENCHING BIT PROVIDES A HELPING HAND

A new drenching bit means hassle-free administration of paste or liquid wormers or other medication for horses. Easy Wormer from VSM provides a unique solution to the need for at least three hands - to hold the wormer, hold the horse and open its mouth.

Easy Wormer ensures the medication goes just where it should go and that the correct dose has been taken. Stress levels are lowered for both horse and owner. And those animals that are "reluctant" to take medicines Easy Wormer really is a must. Easy Wormer comes complete with bit, harness and special drenching syringe.

Testimonials

Dear VSM,

After purchasing the easy wormer product I am amazed that my horse now accepts wormers via a syringe without the flicker of an ear. Before the easy wormer my mare would not tolerate anyone attempting to insert anything into her mouth other than a bridle, if it was attempted she would react by violently shaking her head! Now Frosty is a pleasure to worm and is the docile character we all know and love. Even novice handlers are able to administer the wormer without stress to human or horse. In an age where equine practices emphasise the comfort of the horse this is a product that truly does just that.

Hi Easy-Wormer,

I brought an easy wormer earlier this year - march 2001, because my horse was becoming progressively worse to worm, as soon as a syringe went near his mouth he would shake his head so you couldn't get near or go to the other extreme and try to catch it between his teeth. The final straw was when he bit through the plastic syringe and had a lump of jagged plastic in his mouth.........luckily he didn't swallow it and I managed to retrieve it! Having tried the easy wormer a couple of times now I am very impressed - I can put 2 syringes of wormer in and I don't think he even realises where the wormer has come from, not big on brains!!!! I have to say that Easy - Wormer has taken most of the stress out of worming. My horse will now stand still, no head shaking, and although he continuously chews on the plastic bit he takes his wormers Easy wormer was a good investment. Thank you for supplying a really helpful product.
