Blenheim Palace Horse Trials is on this week – where performance is everything.
But true performance doesn’t start in the arena.
It starts on the inside.
One client’s horse looked bouncy, bright, and full of life… until colic struck out of nowhere. The redworm re-test was already booked.
But we also suggested something most owners skip: a tapeworm saliva test.
Why?
Because tapeworm is one of the most overlooked threats in the field.
No outward signs.
No weight loss.
No dull coat.
Nothing to tell you something’s wrong… until suddenly, it is.
💡 In this case, the tapeworm test came back HIGH.
Even though this horse had been regularly treated with praziquantel every 6 months — just like the textbook had said at the time!
Here’s the truth no one tells you:
👉 A wormer only works if it works.
👉 You don’t know unless you test.
👉 And resistance is very real.
Once the test confirmed the burden, treatment was given.
The difference? Immediate.
The owner’s words:
“I didn’t think she could feel any more alive… but I was wrong.”
Performance doesn’t just come from fitness or training.
It starts with a healthy gut.
🧪 Tapeworm is the silent one. But we’re not silent about it.
➡️ If it’s been 6+ months since you last tested or treated for tapeworm, now’s the time.
Saliva kits available now – posted fast, results sent direct, with clear advice.
🎯 Peace of mind isn’t a bonus.
It’s the baseline.
