If you've given your winter wormer (I will have advised Moxidectin based Equest unless your circumstances require other wormer), did you know it also will have treated your horse for Bots? Bots aren't worms! They're fly larvae! Over the summer & Autumn, the flies lay eggs on the coats. These TINY eggs are ingested and find their way to the horse's stomach. There are no tests that detect bots! So if you wormed recently, it's rare but you may see these pink ugly bugs in your horse's droppings! #botsinhorses #bots #horsecare #EFECSltd #healthyhorses

Even if you see something in your horse's poo, you need to know: 🐴 WHICH worm it is 🐴 IF they NEED a wormer 🐴 WHICH wormer to give Don't just guess as you could do more harm than good! Do a worm count and follow the advice from your SQP. and if you don't have an SQP on your horse care team...

👉 Why can’t you give a wormer throughout the year to keep your horse healthy? It used to be common practice for horse owners to reach for the wormer depending on the season! ❌ We don’t advise you do this anymore! Because what that practice did was: 👉 it made the worms resistant to the active ingredient in the wormer that killed them… ❌ And now the drugs don’t work!!!! ✅ There are still some wormers that do work… BUT we need to be careful with their use and not give them willy nilly! As we can’t afford for worms to become resistant to these too!! It's why we are so passionate here at EFECS in getting the word out and supporting out clients with their horses worm burden (because you won’t ever fully get rid of it you know! The goal is to keep the burden low) Would you like Clare’s help with your horse? Send us a message and we can chat the best system for you

Our kits test for a variety of worms If your horse has a positive result knowing what to do that works now is what matters

Your horse is going to have worms. 🐛 It's natural, we can't stop it we just have to monitor and break the cycles But, it's not necessarily a bad thing! When a horse has a consistently low burden (50-100 eggs/gram), it can actually be a really healthy process of breaking the lifecycle of worms for the other horses that it possibly shares the grazing with. So we LIKE to see LOW burdens! 🎉 #naturalhorsecare #burden #redworm #tapeworms #roundworm

You'd be surprised how often I hear " I don't get it? Why has only one of my horses tested high and the other is low, but they're in the same field?" I get why you'dthink that they would both have similar burdens... Or if one is high they all will be! - but it doesn't work like that. Studies show that only 20% of horses carry the biggest worm burdens 🐛 the remaining 80% of the equine population will be low! (even if they share a field) 🐎 If your horse regularly carries a burden it's not necessarily a bad thing! They're mopping up the susceptible worms the other horses are leaving behind. Yes, it means you have to worm the horse with the high burden and not the rest. So don't worry it's totally normal 😊 And YES of course we can work on getting one with the burden under control.

I literally live and breathe worm counts and worming! It's more than just a business for me I spend a lot of time learning and looking at the current research and helping to spread the word that we can't just do as we used to anymore! This clip is from my recent interview on the Stable Business Podcast with Jenni Bush the Equine Business Assistant.

Meet Clare on the Stable Business Podcast with Jenni Bush - The Equine Business Assistant next Wednesday!

There is always this careful balance with the advice I give to make sure it works for the owners and to work with you as the horse owner to support you with what works for you! Jenni said "this is why my support was invaluable" because the worm count result was the first indication something was wrong. Jenni has been on the subscription and it works for her.
