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.

Why does a horse need to be wormed?
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.
