*** STEP AWAY FROM THE EQUEST (at this time of year) ***

A repeat post, but people STILL don’t understand!

Just a little reminder that you should absolutely NOT be using Equest or Equest Pramox during the Spring, Summer and early Autumn months. It should be reserved for the main purpose of Moxidectin; targeting the ENCYSTED stages of Redworm. Redworm encyst into the gut wall when it is COLD.

The emergence of these encysted redworm as the temperatures warm up in March/April, can result in fatal cyathostominosis. We only have TWO drugs that can treat encysted redworm, and there is already widespread resistance to one of them (Fenbendazole), and rapidly developing resistance to the second one - MOXIDECTIN. It’s imperative that you DO NOT USE EQUEST or EQUEST PRAMOX during the warm months, unless specifically directed to do so by your vet.

Lots of people correctly use worm egg counts during the spring and summer months, but some are then very dangerously worming with Equest if they have high egg counts. This is both a waste of Moxidectin, and a danger, due to helping increase the resistance to this drug.

DO NOT WASTE MOXIDECTIN WHEN IT’S WARM! The whole point of the drug is that it treats ENCYSTED redworm. The redworm burrow into the gut wall to keep warm; it’s as simple as that to understand! They need eradicating AFTER they have burrowed, so AFTER it gets cold, and BEFORE it warms up in the Spring!

Cornsay Horses out again this weekend at Forgandenny.
Cornsay Fantasia with Jack Mantel Sports Horses giggled too much in the dressage to get a top 10 placing but stormed around the very educational XC track making Novice look easy !
Cornsay Grenadier and Olivia Graham had a class outing to finish 4th in a competitive 100section , no watch failure this time 👍
Cornsay Heraldry with Jack Mantel riding for Fiona Malcom had a very successful day taking top spot in his 90open section
Many thanks to the organising team at Forgandenny for a super well run event

🐴🐴🐴🐴**Attention all horse owners!**🐴🐴🐴🐴🐴

We’re receiving an increasing number of orders for Equest and Equest Pramox this summer. It’s important to understand why these wormers are not appropriate for use at this time of year, and why I won’t be prescribing them at this time of year.

What You Need to Know:

- Equest and Equest Pramox contain Moxidectin, which treats encysted redworm—larvae that burrow and hibernate in the colon wall.
- The larvae encyst in the cold months (late autumn/winter) and emerge in spring. This mass emergence can cause severe damage to the gut wall, potentially leading to the horse’s death.

Current Treatment Options:
- Fenbendazole (Panacur)
- Moxidectin (Equest and Equest Pramox)

Unfortunately, worm resistance to Fenbendazole already exists, and resistance to Moxidectin is rapidly developing.

The Risks of Resistance:

If resistance to Moxidectin increases, we may lose the ability to treat acute cyathostomosis, resulting in more horse fatalities. Hence, it’s **ABSOLUTELY VITAL** to use Moxidectin only during the **WINTER/COLD MONTHS**.

Important Guidelines:

- **Do not use Equest or Equest Pramox** on a new horse without knowing its worming history. These wormers are not for ‘clearing out’ horses.
- **Follow these practices** to maintain your horse’s health:

Our Recommendations:
1. Perform regular worm egg counts from spring through autumn.
2. Conduct tapeworm testing alongside worm egg counts.
3. ONLY worm based on a positive worm egg count.
4. Poo pick your pasturestwice a week.
5. Cross graze with other species (e.g., sheep and cattle) to help control worm populations.

Preventing Anthelmintic Resistance:

Preventing resistance to Moxidectin is crucial. Without new wormers on the horizon, we must preserve the effectiveness of existing treatments. This requires a collective effort from all horse owners.

Together, we can protect our horses and ensure effective treatments remain available. In the absence of appropriate dispensing, it is up to horse owners to remain educated to help protect the health of horses in the long term.

BUT behaved impeccably all day and travelled and loaded like a pro !!!!
Big thanks to class support Team of Holly Morris and Emma Moran and Jack Thomas Watson for his patience with her when she didn’t understand the procedure
