I like it... except - will you be able to get the 
stuff far enough in, though? Or will you just end up 
depositing a big glob on the horse's tongue, causing
him to spit it out and give you snake eyes next time 
you try to elyte him? ...or is it all in the technique,
like Angie's sponging - you have to finesse your aim 
to jet a squirt up into the back of his mouth?

Certainly if you could figure it out, a quick squirt
now and again would be dead easy to do - and a condiment
bottle much more convenient to carry than stupid syringes.

When are EZ Care or someone going to come out with a 
gunkproof saddle bag specifically made to carry big 
syringes with their plungers stuck out?
