Worming

[Fireinthegrate]

There are 3 horses and 2 ponies where I keep my mare.
We send off for wormcounts and worm accordingly.
This time, one horse and one pony are below 50 so don’t need worming
Another horse and the other pony do need worming but I don’t know what the count is.
My mare has a count of 1500!!
Historically my mare has always been higher count than any of the others.
Anyone know why this is or is it just “one of those things”?

Yes one of those things. We worm counted in the summer. Field of five. Two of them mine. The only one who came back with a medium worm count was one of mine. The other 4 were clear. Odd considering all were in the same field.

Even if the others are below 50, you will still need to worm for encysted redworm at this time of year - these do not show up on egg counts.

Use Equest Pramox as that does everything including tapeworm.
VioVet have a very good article on worming.

Yes, she’s being wormed. 5 day Panacur now and then another count in the new Year

I was referring to the others... even if their worm count is below 50 eggs seen, they’ll still need worming.
