🐎 Wormy Wednesday!

🚨 Resistance to the drugs used in wormers is a rapidly growing problem and worryingly, there are no new or alternative drugs on the horizon.

🐎 We can all do our bit to help slow down the rate of resistance by only worming our horses when necessary and not as a matter of routine.
We can do this by having a risk-based, diagnostic-led
worming programme, which includes:
👊 Faecal worm egg counts
👊 Tapeworm saliva tests
👊 An annual worm risk assessment

🐎 There are also things we can do to help reduce our horse’s worm burden such as regular poo picking and good pasture management. (More on this over the next few weeks!)

🍁 This autumn/winter, rather than giving a routine dose of wormer, give us a call to request a worm risk assessment (FREE!) and tapeworm test to find out if your horse actually needs to be treated.

🥳 Happy Birthday to our nursing assistant Krystle!

Wormy Wednesday -

🐎We are using the CANTER guidelines again this year in the ongoing battle against wormer resistance.

👉The aim is to control antiparasitic resistance in equines responsibly - or in other words, worming responsibly.
To achieve this we, we will be prescribing wormers only as needed and based on your horse's risk profile, which is based on the following information you give us about your horse.

🐴C - Clinical history: Your horse's own medical history is very important as they may have an ongoing issue or condition putting them at higher risk that needs them to have a wormer.
🐴A - Age: Horses under 5 years old are at higher risk of a parasite burden, as are veteran horses, therefore increasing their risk.
🐴N - Number of horses: Stocking density is highly important to your risk profile as the greater the number, the higher the risk.
🐴T - Test results: Including your horse's recent worm egg counts, tapeworm saliva result and any blood testing done over the last 12 months.
🐴E - Environment: Where your horse lives, and the other horses they live with can make a difference to their risk, as can regular poo picking and how often their herd mates change.
🐴R - Risk profile: All the information is put together in the Worming Risk Assessment we send out to clients, giving us your horse's unique risk profile and allowing us to advise you on worming your horse.

We have included a link for the CANTER guidelines for anyone that would like a closer look for themselves.

The CANTER Guidelines for Sustainable Equine Parasite Control, first published in 2024, by the pan industry group, Controlling Parasitic Resistance in Equines Responsibly (CANTER) have been extensively revised and updated, with the latest version 1.2 released on the CANTER website, 2 February 2026.....

🍂Welcoming Autumn means we start talking about winter worming.

🎯If your horse is part of the Horse Health Programme you will already be well aware of our continued commitment to a targeted approach to worming.

👉P.S - Saliva tests will be available from October!

As part of our Horse Health Programme (HHP), we are keen to help you protect your horse against worms. The best way to keep horses safe, now and in the future, is to practice targeted worming using diagnostic tests and risk assessments to determine if you need to worm your horse.
