Best Answer

Every other month your should de-worm your horse

Improved answer: This depends on the climate you live in (more often in warm climates with little or no killing frost/freezing, and the horse per land area- more horses per acreage means de-worm mor often. recommended can be from every 4 to 10 weeks in general. Foals may need to be more often if they are unthrifty looking or show a high egg count on a fecal exam.

Every three months. It does depend on the type of wormer you use. The instructions in or on the packet usually tell you. For horse tape worms it is twice a year in the UK in Spring and then Autumn. As there are lots of different worms it really does depend on product used and what worms you are trying to prevent. If your unsure a vet would advise.

How often a horse should be dewormed depends on age, environmental conditions, management practices and the horse's own resistance to parasites. Deworming programs should be designed for each horse based upon a consideration of the risk factors for parasites for that particular horse, including the results of fecal egg counts which help to determine an individual horse's reinfection status and natural resistance to parasites. Immatures horses (under 18 months) are less resistant to parasites and often require frequent deworming, but adult horses may need as few as 2 dewormings a year or as many as 3-4 dewormings a year.

Horse owners should consult their veterinarian to determine an appropriate deworming program for their horses.

You deworm them every 6 weeks. Buy a tube from the local tractor supply or vet $10 and put it in their mouth. Make sure to rotate wormers: zimectrin, strongid, safegaurd.
