Riding the day your horse is wormed?

[jcberry]

What are your views?
Oscar is being wormed on monday and then flu & tet jab the tuesday. On the wednesday we are going out somewhere and would pref want to ride him before.
When would you ride?
Obv, if it is a big no no to ride on both days, we wouldn't. Have never been in this situation before, so asking for opinions =]

Thanks

Don't worry about worming ride as normal it will not effect the horse unless there is a chance of a big worm burden.

Flu jabs are a little different and I do tend ride but just gently afterwards for at least 3 days. Vets say not to worry with the modern jabs but I always err on the cautious side.

OK thanks a lot

My instinct would be not to ride immediately after worming or the vacs but I see no reason why you shouldn't ride before if you have time to let him cool down before the vet comes.

That said I wasn't thinking last time I wormed Daisy and I took her straight out for a hack. She was fine. When I got back I checked the worming leaflet because I was worried that it was the wrong thing to have done but it didn't say anything about it so i assume there isn't a real problem with it

Yeah, at the moment, we can only walk anyway so im sure its not gonna kill him

Why don't you worm him when you get back from your ride?

My vet said after vaccs ok to ride but don't do anything that will make them sweat for 48 hours.

Absolutey no reason not to ride, just don't overdo it after the vacs.

I worm when we get back from a ride and I give her the day off when she has had her vaccs or ride before the vet gets there and make sure she is cooled off prior to the jabs

George is normally wormed 1st thing and I will ride him gently that evening, I give him 24hrs off after worming and then a gentle ride the following day.
