Do you deworm your horses every other month?
No, deworming horses should not just be done on a random every 6 or 8 weeks schedule. 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.
What are three parasites horses commonly have?
Horses commonly suffer from three types of parasites: strongyles, which can cause serious gastrointestinal issues; roundworms (ascarids), particularly in young horses, leading to digestive blockages; and pinworms, which cause irritation and itching around the tail. Regular deworming and fecal testing are essential for managing these parasites and maintaining a horse's health. Proper pasture management also helps reduce the risk of infestations.

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.
