What's your worming routine?

[tonitot]

Was just wondering what everyones worming routine is as Ethel is the first horse I've owned, the others have been loans so left owners to worm, and I thought I knew all about worming but recently um doubting myself. I've been trying to go along with the person I share the field with but tbh she doesn't seem to know what she's doing either. As they have now been seperated I worked mine today with Equest but was wondering when to do her next and when?? So what is your worming schedule?

My horses are wormed every 13 weeks and each time they have a different wormer as if you use the same wormer for years when you suddenly change the wormer it can rip the horses stomach lining and then you have major problems x

I do a worm count for mine every 3 months, and then worm in the Autumn with one of the "kills everything" wormers!!

Obviously, they have negative worm counts....if they showed evidence of worms I would worm accordingly.....

Okay, so do you use a certain type of worker at certain times of year or just any one?? x

 

[horsecrazy25]

I use Equest mostly but do change wormers so may use Paramox or Equi-tabs etc etc. I know Equest do a set of 4 wormers for Spring,Summer,Autumn,Winter and i think the set is £24+ which is very resonable price. x

I use the Equest/Equest Pramx worming programme. Every 13 weeks, they are wormed Equest in winter months and Pramox in Spring and Autumn.

i worm my pony every 4 months i think it works out to be and i cange wormer each time aswell because aswell as what horsecrazy25 said the worms can become immune to a certain wormer if you do not change it regularly

The vet worm counts ours three times a year, and as long as all the results are negative, we only use a wormer once a year in September/October time. We also keep the fields clean and they are poo picked daily.

I worm when Intellegent Worming send the stuff through - fab set up!!

I admit I don't have a clue, and I don't have the time to learn, so I pay someone that does to work it all out from worm counts and detailed questions abotu the horses & their management.
