strange larvae type thing

[Ibblebibble]

sorry, very strange title for a very strange question!
Bit of background, friend bought a new forest pony on sunday so we wormed him yesterday, this eve friend was checking on a tick we had found near his anus, (surgical spirit and a dose of udder salve seems to have sorted that critter) when she noticed a brown larvae looking thing on edge of ponies anus. braver than me she got her gloves on and pulled the thing out and kept it for me to look at lol. except i have no idea what it is, it's about half inch long and mid brown, quite fat .

sounds like it could be bot fly larvae but i could be wrong, hard to say without seeing it though.

Yep. Have seen this before in a horse that had a high worm burden.

just googled bot fly larvae and i think you could be right! never seen one before TBH and thought it would be smaller!

the one we found doesn't have the 'frilly' bits lol but other than that it looks right
