Why are horses today more prone to parasite problems when compared to horses in the wild?

Modern domesticated horses are more prone to parasites due to limited turnout areas, which mean that they come in closer contact with the parasites than do wild horses which can roam wide distances and stay clear of parasite infested manure. Also the use of Anthelimentics (deworming drugs) have increased parasite resistance to the drugs and then the horse cannot get rid of them through deworming.
