So worming is an area of horse care I am shamefully lacking knowledge in. It’s always been dealt with for my by the yard I have been at and I’ve trusted them to do what is best.
Yard I am currently at do a fecal egg count 2/3 times a year and we get given a wormer based on the result. They’ve now just told us they aren’t going to organise that going forward and it’s up to us.
So. What are my options? I don’t like the idea of worming without doing an egg count as she’s not needed a wormer for the last year due to a low egg count whenever she has been tested. So are there any recommendations for places I send my mares poo t
Also what times of year should I be doing this? And what wormers do you recommend should she need one? I have seen threads about a particular one that seems to cause a nasty reaction in some horses but the name escapes me.
many thanks!
