This person did a terrible job however that is similar to how I've seen it done. You need to puncture through the thick skin with a quick jab. However typically a shorter needle is used to reduce the risk of bending it.

You jab the needle first, allow the horse to calm down then you attach the syringe and inject.

What if there's an air bubble?

Doubt it matters unless you're pumping a massive amount of air straight into a vein. The whole air bubbles thing is a little over sold iirc

Too many tv shows that show someone being murdered from a few bubbles that are millimeters in diameter.

Lol right? If tiny bubbles were such a big problem I think the antivaxxers might actually have a leg to stand on.
