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. When pastures are overstocked or too small or are mowed with feces on the ground, horses loose the ability to stay away from fecal material and contaminated grazing.
