If you post his diet and routine we can probably give you more pointers. I must say I read your other post about him and thought hmmm but you do start wondering if you're getting obsessed so I didn't mention it!
My horse is sensitive to wormers and will not be right for a couple of days after worming, so now I don't worm her. That's not to say you shouldn't worm yours but more that things like wormers can make them symptomatic for sure.
Thanks for your reply FW.
I bought him in November and did 4 months of walk to build him up. Increased exercise March time and increased it again end of April (interval training 3/4 times a week and walk road hacking 2 times a week and 1 school/jump lesson) and is now pretty fit. Haven't really done anything other than walk past 3 weeks as felt so dodgy. Tucked up in the mornings, okay after turn out.
Turned out during day (as over night turn out makes him footy due to length of time being out) on a grazed down tiny paddock of unfortunately dairy/beef grazing. Adlib soaked hay 24/7 in paddock and stable and fed handful of hifi molasses free, feedmark benevit advance supp (in process of changing to forage plus) and suppleaze gold.
Is it worth doing the blood test before and after ridden as already it's becoming pricey or is there another way I can find out? Vet said he is more than double what he should be, but not in the thousands.
