Vikki Fowler working on an unsedated horse. "Tilly is 27 year old and a long standing patient of mine. She has not been given any calmer or drugs of any sort. As you can see, she is perfectly relaxed and makes my job very easy. This horse would be more difficult to work on sedated than she is to work on awake. She’s an older lady and really doesn’t need any chemical assistance to be a gem. She is not alone in her angelic behaviour, many will stand just as well."
