How often do you worm your horses

[Quartz]

As the title really, just want to know how many times you worm your horses. Do you do 2 or 4 times a year?

 

[marinitagsd]

Normally every 3 months, using Equest and then Pramox n vice versa but just ordered an egg worm count kit for both my girls to check whats going on. As I only have 2 horses on my own land, maybe they don't need worming/chemicals as much so thought I would give it a go! Will let you know results.

i use a 3 year minimalist worming prog , and every worm count i do comes back - neg for worms , its great . ive been using it for years now.

Equest and Equest Pramox, so four times a year. I was on a yard where no one else wormed, and got into this routine to protect him as best I could. Now I've moved, I'm still going with it, but will start the egg counts soon.

Don't want to use chemicals where they're not needed, and he gets garlic too, which is anthelmintic. sm x

Generally once per year for tapeworm, check redworm via egg count.

Twice year, autumn and spring

 

[Maisy]

I worm count and worm once a year, (would do more if a worm count was anything but low)




eta I worm count 3 monthly, but worm once a year!

now for tapeworm, nov/dec for bots and small encysted redworm and then spring for tapeworm - rest of yr do diagnostic testing with poo samples - poo samples dont show tapeworm and should always do small redworm mid winter as its when they leave the gut

 

[PeterNatt]

Pick up the poos once every day. Have regular 3 monthly worm counts. Worm for Tape worm and Encystead small red worm twice a year.

 

[moses06]
