Because parasite infection rates vary based upon geographic location and weather conditions, management conditions and the individual resistance to parasites of each horse, there is no one-size-fits-all deworming program for horses. It is important to assess all of the risk factors and have fecal egg counts run at appropriate times to determine the horse's normal resistance to the parasites and if there are any issues with parasites being resistant to the drugs in use when planning a deworming program for each horse.

Deworming may be recommended as infrequently as twice a year or as much as 5 times a year during the season when parasite reinfection rates are highest. So, contact your vet and discuss how to go about planning a deworming program.
