Worms - an interesting question

[PeterNatt]

If there are two paddocks/fields of the same size each containing the same number of grazing horses which are seperated by a fence. One of the paddocks/field has the worms picked up on a daily basis and the other paddock/field never has the worms picked up.

How far in distance do the worms migrate/travel from the paddock/field that does not have the worms picked up into the field that does have the worms picked up?

You know, I haven't a clue....but given that my pony's paddock is poo picked regularly, and is flanked by two paddocks which aren't EVER poo picked I'd be rather interested to know!

In the same situation, mine are done regularly, neighbouring paddocks somewhat more infrequently so am waiting for the answer too

Dr Chris Dolby of Abbet Diagnostics told me this once, but I can't remember. I do know it was not very far. They certainly won't travel from one field to the next
