We're due to worm on the 8th November, double dose Strongid P. We have a 11.2hh 3 YO coming on Saturday and he has to be wormed when he gets here. He's having single dose Equimax (that's what we used last time).

Will 4 weeks give his stomach enough time before he's wormed again???

I seem to have been nominated as Worming Organiser but I'm not sure on this one!

Thank you!
 
It'll be fine. It is good practise to worm any new horse - and if you have bought that horse from a sales there is no telling when it was last wormed, it could've been days before. We were told this by a vet many moons ago.

Poor little sausage is a rescue pony. Had to have his headcollar cut out of his face by all accounts.

Poor thing, glad he can can look forward to a nice new home now though.
 
I would give him a 5 day Panacur Equine Guard when he arrives and then the double dose with the others.
The 5 day wormer is gentle for those that may have a large worm burden and then the double dose will polish off anything that is left all beng well.
