Just looking at a website (wormers direct) to buy a wormer for my 2 horses.

I was just going to get the Equest Pramox, but I was reading through descriptions of others. I always use Equest or Pramox.

Theres one called Eqvalan duo, and I wonder if I should use that instead (It says it covers everything),
it says that one is moxedectin with praziquantel and one is ivermectin with the praziquantel. What is that? Should I change to stop them getting immune?

:S

You should change wormers to stop development of resistance.
moxidectin, ivermectin and praziquantel are active substances, praziquantel is the one you want for tapeworm, the other 2 are for the rest :)
