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.
