Worms are parasites. They take nutrients away from the horse. We deworm them, to get rid of the parasites.

What is a good foal deworming program?

Most foals don't need to be dewormed until they start eating grass on pasture; even then, provided the adult horses have been regularly dewormed there isn't much need for a foal to be dewormed. I would suggest not developing a standard program, but rather working with your veterinarian to address worming issues as needed in specific foals.
