What type of worms are these?

they an inch to inch a half long and ALIVE :o - youngster has got pin worms hence the worming, but only seen one or two on top of poo these were all in poo and on grass around
 
They are pinworm - google images has plenty of pics. (you can tell by the narrowed tail)

Equest cleared them for my horse, but embotape should work too.

Eta, pinworm are notoriously difficult to get rid of though, you might need a few treatments to get rid of them.

pin worm can stick to walls/ tools/ rugs etc.

My mare came with them from market,I kept her in for three days, she had a small bed, new bed daily (straw), scrubbed walls after 24hrs and then again at 48hrs and that cleared them, used equest.
