This is probably the wrong forum but does anyone know where I can get an easy to read and understand worming calendar online?

you're welcome!
they're a very helpful company actually, I've emailed them for advice before now and found them very good.

I use worm counts most of the time. Mine normally have clear or low counts, but I poo pick most days and only my two are in the field.

March - worm count and if necessary use equest.

August - worm count but generally clear/low count so don't need to worm.

October worm for tape and use a mulitwormer depending on last worm count result.

December - worm with equest.

March - repeat cycle.

You do the worm count yourself? Where do you get the kits or stuff etc?

As well as not stuffing them full of chemicals, for me is saves money as Cairo is a big horse and needs a lot of wormer.

Just pop a poo piece into the sample container and post it and they email you back the results very quickly.

They also have a suggested worming programme on their site. I do one less count as I have done this for a few years now and you can reduce if you keep having low/clear counts.

Whole yard (and one next door) has converted to this method of worming.
