I do know that many people go wormer-crazy and overworm their horses. Our DIL does it every 6 weeks, and that is too often according to most vets. (I did some research) The worms become resistant if you worm too often, even if you rotate wormers. Also, if I remember right, some people worm every day, and that can cause colic in some horses, especially Arabians. I don't know why so many people think more is better? That's a HUGE mistake! Here's what seems to be the approved schedule by vets....every 8 weeks.
January/February
fenbendazole - a safe and effective wormer paste for the control of large and small strongyles, ascrids & pinworms in horses. Panacur, Anthelcide EQ, Safeguard
March/April
1.87% ivermectin - Paste wormer and boticide that controls bots, ascrids, large and small strongyles, pin, hair, stomach and threadworms. For use in all horses of any age, including pregnant or nursing mares. For safe effective control of 34 species & stages of worms and bots. Foals should be treated initially at 6 - 8 weeks of age and routine treatment repeated as appropriate. Equimax, Equimectrin, Zimectrin or IVERMECTIN GOLD**
May/June
pyrantel pamoate - Removes internal parasites in all types of horses and ponies: large strongyles (bloodworms), small strongyles, pinworms & roundworms. Horses and ponies ( over 8 months) should be treated every 6 weeks. Mares should be treated 1 month before foaling and again 10 days after foaling. Foals dose (2-8 months of age) every 4 weeks. Strongid Paste, Strongid C, Rotation 2, Exodus Paste
July/August
fenbendazole Panacur, Anthelcide EQ, Safeguard
September/October
1.87% ivermectin Equimax, Equimectrin, Zimectrin or IVERMECTIN GOLD**
November/December
pyrantel pamoate Strongid Paste, Strongid C, Rotation 2, Exodus Paste
