The short answer is, when your horse needs to be dewormed, as determined by a fecal egg float performed by your veterinarian. Some horses may not need to be dewormed more than twice a year while other horses may need to be dewormed 3-4 times a year or more often if they are under 18 months of age.
The old recommendations were to deworm every 2-3 months, rotating between active ingredients to keep your horse "cleaned out". However, maintaining a parasite-free horse is generally not possible and is not advisable; many adult horses can tolerate and thrive with a small infestation and won't be affected by them. Additionally, equine parasites are becoming resistant to the commonly used dewormers; deworming only when necessary will slow this development and preserve the medication for when your horses need it.
Once a month.

∙ 7y agoHow often a horse should be dewormed depends on age, environmental conditions, management practices and the horse's own resistance to parasites. Deworming programs should be designed for each horse based upon a consideration of the risk factors for parasites for that particular horse, including the results of fecal egg counts which help to determine an individual horse's reinfection status and natural resistance to parasites. Immatures horses (under 18 months) are less resistant to parasites and often require frequent deworming, but adult horses may need as few as 2 dewormings a year or as many as 3-4 dewormings a year.
Horse owners should consult their veterinarian to determine an appropriate deworming program for their horses.
