I was going to say the same thing, anyone who has horses in their care knows the essentials, which is how to administer medications whether they be oral or injectable. If I posted a picture of my barn medical cupboard you guys would think I was a mad scientist. The reality is you HAVE to know how to medicate horses, plain and simple, and the drugs and syringes are extremely easy to acquire from either a vet, a mail order catalog or a simple feed store.
