Generally, it is recommended to de-worm every two months, and to rotate the wormer brands and types.

The tried and true method is good old fashioned Ivermectin. The easy way to remember is to do it when your farrier comes every 6 to 8 weeks. During more worm ridden seasons, such as the summer months in the south, you should also do the Daily Feed Thru Wormers such as Strongid.

What is an effective horse rotational deworming program?

The standard 3-way rotation that has been used for years is no longer considered a reasonable way to control parasites in horses. This is because of the development of resistant parasites to the drugs that have been in use so long. There are 4 classes of dewormer on the market in the US: benzimendazoles --fenbendazole, oxibendazole, other chemicals that end in -azole (there is a long list) pyrantels---pyrantel pamoate (paste) and pyrantel tartrate (daily dewormer) avermectins---ivermectin and moxidectin praziquantel In more than 90% of areas tested strongyles are now resistant to fenbendazole and in more than 40% they are resistant to pyrantel. There has even been 1 study showing strongyles becomeing resistant to ivermectin. So, the standard rotation in that link you are likely not going to be effectively killing strongyles for 1, maybe 2 and even as many as 3 out of 3 dewormings. And the problem is only going to continue to grow. The top equine veterinary parasitologists now recommend strategic deworming rather than simply putting a horse on a rotational deworming program. With a strategic deworming program, parasite contamination of pastures is controlled with 2-4 dewormings per year based upon each horse's own resistance to GI parasites. A wonderful resource for figuring out a deworming program is the strategic deworming webinar available online through The Horse Magazine: http://www.thehorse.com/Video.aspx?vID=183 The veterinarian who presented the topic lays out all the information necessary for a horse owner and veterinarian to work out a strategic deworming program.
