Tranq a horse

Has anyone had to do this if a horse is over excited and you can not clam them down? Are there certain traq's to avoid if they would harm the horse in any way?

Since dogs are domesticated like cats, would that be the same for them? I have seen some dogs that well past the puppy stage are hyper and if thats the case, couldn't they die from a heart attack or something similar?

Some humans are hyper well past childhood as well. I don't think tranquilizing something because its hyper is necessarily a good coping tool. Your first tool for a horse would be a twitch in most cases for an immediate fix. Long term the animal would need trained to have less anxiety in situations through repeated exposure.

tiki thats what I was wondering too. I think some end up using the tranq as a quick fix, but it never really solves the underlying issue for long term.
