Nothing will prevent 100% of parasites. What you need to do is have a vet preform and Fecal Egg count test to see which parasites the horse has, use a proper deworming chemical then do another egg count test to see if it worked. If not try another product and another test until you find one that works. Then you might only need to deworm the horse 2-4 times a year.
