Hi,

Having been using Equest and Equest Pramox for 5 years now, I was wondering whether my pony may benefit from being wormed with a different wormer with a different active ingredient . She is due worming with Equest. If I am to worm now, what sort of wormer should I be looking for?

She has also recently moved into a new field with new horses.

I think I have left it a bit late to send of an egg count but this may be something I will look into in the summer.

Any help appreciated as I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to worming, hence sticking to a simple worming programe previously.

Thank you
 
We worm count twice a year and then strategically worm twice a year for tapes, encysted redworms, bots etc. We've been on the Equest programme for several years and have never had a problem.

Might be worth talking to one of the worm count labs - Westgate or Abbey Diagnostics are two who spring to mind to see what they suggest.
