Deworming horses

Resistance of equine parasites to traditional deworming (anthelmintic) products is on the rise and there are few if any new dewormers in the development phase. Therefore, this is a crucial time to modify current deworming practices in order to sustain effectiveness of currently available products.

These recent changes to equine deworming practices are summarized very nicely for horse owners in a 1 hour "webinar" on the website called "Deworming Your Horse". The webinar is led by Dr. Craig Reinemeyer, an equine veterinarian and parasitologist. Owners can create an account on www.thehorse.com for free and then have access to a huge amount of basic health/husbandry information all about horses.
