Thanks to my wonderful clients for a great start to breeding season! It’s my favourite time of year and I love working with my clients to achieve those little black blobs on the screen!
However, at this point in time I’m fully subscribed for ambulatory repro work and can only take on new clients who can come to me at Stratheden Stud. I am still happy to see your mare here, but there are only so many minutes in a day and I’m currently running out of them!

The vet shortage, particularly in regional areas, is well documented — and equine veterinarians are warning of a looming crisis.

🚫The old practice of "dose-and-move", is now considered to select more strongly for resistance, as moving newly dewormed horses to a new pasture removes the dilution effect that would have been provided refugia (Waghorn et al., 2009).

✅ Refugia refer to the portion of a population of parasites (or stages of parasites) that escapes the drug at the time of a treatment. This sub-population includes stages of parasites in the horse not affected by the treatment, all free- living parasite stages on the pasture, and all parasites in animals that were not treated.

❗️The higher the proportion of worms in refugia, the more slowly resistance develops. The worms in refugia are not under selection pressure for resistance, thus resistant worms remain diluted by susceptible worms which continue to make up the majority of the worm population (Leathwick et al., 2008; Waghorn et al., 2009)

🐴 Dose-and-move essentially means that the new paddock will become contaminated with resistant parasites (those that have survived the worming).

👍 Instead we recommend “dose-and-HOLD” whereby recently dewormed horses stay in their current paddocks and have their manure collected and composted away from grazing areas.
