What habit of horses do they do to prevent internal parasites?
Horses, if given adequate pasture space, practice selective grazing to help minimize reinfection with parasites. They will graze in certain areas (lawns) and defecate in other areas (roughs) so that they don't eat from areas where parasite eggs and larva are likely to be.
