Horses ingest parasite eggs from the ground and their food. If too many parasites collect on the walls of their digestive track they can loose substantial weight, and possible get scars on their intestines giving them permanent digestive issues in that they won't be able to absorb all the nutrients in their food and wiil have to be fed more to sustain weight. Not to mention they can colic or die. Horses ingest parasite eggs from the ground and their food.
