don't be affraid to tranq...better than fighting...and how you 'stick her' matters...if your sooo scared when you do...she'll know...and fight that too...some horses see the surynge and freak out anyways...so Doc would take the needle off the surynge and pop it in the neck..other times (depending on the horse) would go slowly...how he knew...your guess is as good as mine...but he usually got the job done without much fight...even the worst of em...lol...
to those in here in the thoroughbred business..remember Rebot's reputation?...Doc was the only one who would go out in his paddock to pull blood without anyone holding him..lol..and was never attacked..
