Of course - after all, if a horse feels like it may be likely going to 
vomit, when it is outside a pharmacy, all the horse has to do, is go 
into the pharmacy, and get an anti-emetic, or something to settle its 
stomach, like NaHCO3, and, some MgSO4 (Epsom salts), to purge whatever 
is upsetting the horse's stomach, and then the horse will likely avoid 
vomiting when it is outside the pharmacy.

However, if multiple horses start vomiting outside a pharmacy, I would 
wonder what is included in the medications for the horses, obtained from 
the pharmacy.
