It’s a Wonderful Life! Creating the Perfect Environment for Your Horses

Owning horses can be a very rewarding experience. These gentle and loving animals can make

wonderful companions and there is something very special about the bond between rider and horse.

However you do need to make sure you invest in top equine health products like equine wormers.

These products will help you to support the health of your horses and keep them happy and well.

What are Worms?

There are a number of parasitic worms prevalent in the UK. Horses can be particularly vulnerable to

parasitic worms as they are grazing animals. Parasitic worm eggs are expelled from infected hosts in

droppings. Once on the ground they can be easily picked up by animals grazing on grass and hay.

This means you will need to put in place a worming schedule to protect your horses.

Parasitic worms can seriously affect

equine health and so you do need to

be proactive in dealing with this

common problem. The good news is

that you can find a number of cheap

horse wormers quickly and easily

online. This is a good way to find

savings on top brand products like

Equest. These easy to use wormers

have been fully tested to provide

safe and effective worm treatment

and prevention for horses.

Mucking Out

If you want to create the perfect environment for horses you will need to manage the stables and

pastures effectively. This will help to reduce the risks of accident or injury and ensure that your

horses are happy and healthy. Here are just a few tips for keeping environments clean and tidy:

Alongside the use of Equest wormer for horses you also need to invest in good pasture and

stable cleaning practices.

It is important to reduce the chances of cross-infestation from horses already affected by

worms.

This means mucking out stables and replacing bedding and feed regularly.

You will also need to keep manure levels in pastures down by picking up droppings on a regular

basis.

Any droppings removed from stables and

pastures should be kept well away from your

horses living and feeding areas.

It is also a good idea to invest in raised feeders.

This will help to reduce the chance of

infestation by reducing the amount of time

horses graze off the ground.

By investing in good pasture management

practices you can boost the effectiveness of

equine wormers and help to prevent re-

infestation.

This can also reduce the amount of worming you have to carry out. Over-worming horses due to

poor management can lead to parasites developing resistance to the products on the market.

This can be a big problem so you do need to understand how to avoid this when you use Equest

worming products.

horses.
