Given that grass, hay, dirt, manure, bedding contain parasites and these are materials that horses are exposed to, it’s not surprising that these quickly get into a horses body and once they do  they migrate through vital organs, robbing your horse of nutrition and health. Some parasites will cause respiratory problems, others lead to colic a most dangerous illness in a horse.

You have two worming options, either to do this on a continuous basis or to do it periodically.
Continuous Deworming
This method, is one where horses receive a small amount of granular dewormer in their feed every day, in addition to a combination paste dewormer twice a year to protect them against tapeworms and bots. The advantage of daily deworming is that it prevents parasites from taking hold between treatments and has the added benefit of improving a horse’s performance, as well as there condition and/or appearance.

Periodic Paste Deworming
With this alternative to daily worming a paste dewormer is administered every 6 to 8 weeks, rotating between chemical classes. Because different dewormers are effective against different parasites at different stages and work in different ways, rotation protects against a broader range of parasites and helps prevent parasites from developing resistance to the chemicals used.
