Be honest… how many have you got on the yard right now?
(And how many do you actually use?)

"Have I got too many headcollars? Yes. Will I buy another? Definitely."

In studies, 70% of horse owners struggled to worm their horses.
And in one study of 480 horses, 22% spat out between 29% and 68% of the wormer. 😳

So if you’ve ever ended up wearing more than they swallowed — you’re not alone.
But here’s the kicker:
If they don’t get the full dose, it won’t work.
And that opens the door to resistance, higher burdens, and bigger problems down the line.

💡 That’s why testing after worming matters.
It’s the only way to know if it actually worked.

📬 Test. Track. Adjust. That’s the smart way to worm.

He stood like a rock for the farrier.
Let you pick out all four feet in the mud.
Didn’t even flinch at fly spray.

But the second you show him the wormer?
BAM. He’s gone.

High head, sideways shuffle, Olympic-level side-eye.

Worming day turns the chillest horses into slippery little ninjas.

Sound familiar?

Do you know about Bots? Bots aren't worms, they're flies but over the summer months, you may see their tiny whitish/yellowish eggs on horses legs!
Have you spotted any this year?

Testing isn’t about problems — it’s about knowing your horse is thriving.
It’s not something you only do when things go wrong.
It’s something you do to make sure they don’t.

Regular worm egg counts aren’t just a tick-box job — they give you real insight.
Are the treatments working?
Are the burdens staying low?
Is your horse picking anything up from the grazing?

The truth is, most of the time your horse won’t look wormy.
They’ll seem fine. Until they’re not.

Testing gives you the chance to act early, treat only when needed, and give your horse the best chance to stay healthy — inside and out.

✨ It’s not just good management.
It’s smart, responsible care.

Don’t lie.

You’ve sniffed it…
You’ve read the ingredients…
And before you knew it, it was in your mouth.

Dry. Oaty. Slightly disappointing.

But still not the weirdest thing you’ve eaten at the yard.

Fess up—what did you try?

19/06/2025

I don't want to keep you waiting!

😃 That's why I test your horse's sample and get the
results to you as soon as I can!

🧪 Which test does your horse actually need?
Each test we offer at EFECS looks for something different — so it’s important to choose the right one at the right time.

Here’s a quick guide to help you decide 👇

➡️ Worm Egg Count – checks for redworm and roundworm (most common test, done regularly)
➡️ Tapeworm Saliva Test – picks up tapeworm (best in spring & autumn)
➡️ Pinworm Tape Test – checks for pinworm (not seen in egg counts!)

💡 They’re not interchangeable — and a test won’t show what it’s not designed to find.

So if you're guessing… or just ordering the same thing every time… it might be time to double-check what your horse actually needs.

📬 Need help choosing the right one? Just drop us a message — we’ll help you figure it out.

OUR STORY

So you want to be the best owner your pony could possibly have, right?

And that means making sure your horse is as healthy and happy as possible.

Routine worming used to be part of the basic care of horses, at certain seasons you would just give your horse a specific wormer, but this is not the recommended advice anymore.

A major worm burden can be life threatening to your horse.

The damage worms leave in the gut can result in colic, diarrhoea and other significant problems that may impact the horse for his whole life even after treatment.

So making sure you treat your horse for worms is essential

But before you reach for the wormer STOP!

There are many different types of worms and parasites found in horses.

Wormers are developed to target and treat the specific parasites.

So you can’t just give any wormer, it needs to be the right one!

Also, over the last few decades the old worming regime of giving wormers throughout the year enabled the parasites (worms) to becoming increasingly resistant to the ingredients in the wormers used to kill them off!

Meaning that the more wormers we give the less effective they are becoming as the worms evolve to survive treatments!

Not to mention, giving unnecessary drugs to your horse is never ideal for the animal and the chemicals in wormers are also damaging to the environment so we don’t want to be giving them unless we have to.

Thats why using a faecal egg test is so important!
