Going for 2 in 1 here.
Wormers - Worm count clear but have been advised to worm for tapeworm. What wormer do you suggest?
Calmers - My mare is fine with groundwork but very worried, nervous, stressed about being ridden even in walk. Calmer suggestions please.
 
Remember worm counts wont pick up tapeworm. Equimax or Equest Pramox will kill tapeworm.
Re the calmers, sounds like you need to look into why the horse is so stressed being ridden, it may be more than a calmer can deal with...
 
Best choice use the tapeworm test. If you are simply going to worm for tapeworm then you don't need a combi wormer like Pramox or Equimax. Use Equitape or double pyrantel.
No idea about calmers.
