Tailored Worming Plans for Every Horse
Every horse has different parasite risks depending on age, grazing management, travel, herd structure and previous worming history.
Routine worming without considering individual risk can lead to unnecessary treatments and increased parasite resistance.
I provide personalised parasite control plans based on your horse's lifestyle, current management and best-practice recommendations.

Why a Tailored Approach Matters
Modern parasite control is no longer about worming every horse on a fixed schedule.
A horse living alone on well-managed grazing will have very different parasite risks compared to a young competition horse travelling regularly and sharing pasture with multiple horses.
Tailored parasite management helps ensure:
-
Appropriate protection against internal parasites
-
Reduced unnecessary treatments
-
Responsible use of wormers
-
Slower development of wormer resistance
-
Improved horse health and welfare
Understanding Wormer Resistance
Parasite resistance can make wormers less effective over time. Responsible parasite control
considers individual risk, appropriate testing, correct dosing, and good grazing management
to help preserve the effectiveness of existing treatments for the future.
Why Does Resistance Matter?
Parasite resistance cannot be reversed, and no new classes of equine wormers are expected in
the foreseeable future. A targeted, evidence-based approach helps preserve the effectiveness
of existing treatments while protecting your horse's health and welfare.
Not sure what your horse actually needs?
Avoid unnecessary worming and protect the long-term effectiveness of existing treatments with a personalised parasite control plan.
