The intestinal worms that horses pick up have long and complex lifestyles. Generally, they reproduce inside the horse. The eggs come out in the manure and the larvae climb up the grass stalks. The horse eats the grass stalks and the worm larvae enter the horse where they grow up, reproduce and the cycle starts again. Most worms live in the intestines but some live in the lungs; both types have serious bad effects on the horse's health and are exceedingly undesirable. This is why good horse owners generally worm at least once a month. Harrowing (picking up of manure in fields) can help to break the worm cycle. So can having a horse share its paddock with sheep, goats or cattle - the intestinal worms of one species cannot survive inside the other, so this is an additional way to kill them.
