🪱Worming Advice for Horses🪱
Targeted worming is the gold standard for effective parasite control. Follow our guide below to help protect your horse!
1️⃣ Assess your horse’s individual risk (tools like “What’s Your Worm Risk?” can help guide you 👉 https://www.whatsyourwormrisk.com/page/risk-assessment)
2️⃣ Test regularly: faecal egg counts (FECs), tapeworm and encysted redworm testing.
3️⃣ Treat based on results, not guesswork. Seasonal FECs and annual FEC reduction tests help monitor effectiveness and detect resistance.
Routine blanket worming is no longer recommended. Instead, work with your vet using up-to-date test results to create a tailored plan for your horse.

Healthy horses, healthier pastures 🌱
