Best Answer

yes there are certain months often chosen to worm horses. There are several types of horse parasites ('worms') and several types of wormers available. Wormers are often sold with a recommended a schedule. One popular method is to apply dewormers after the frost is on the ground - so that these parasites that are in the soil are killed, and the wormer takes care of those still inside. Then worming is repeated during the warmer months, when horses graze and tend to pick up more infestations. Another popular notion is to rotate wormer types, so that any particular parasite is unlikely to become resistant to a particular drug.
