Equine 101
Report
Young horses (under 2-3 years of age)-deworm starting at 4 weeks of age (using a safe product such as fenbendazole) and then every 6-8 weeks rotationally thereafter. Parasite resistance to deworming products is becoming a problem. 15+ years of rotational deworming has contributed to resistance developing in equine parasites.
Equine Nutrition
Report
With the increasing amount of research in the field of equine nutrition many questions have been answered, but many new questions are being raised. Many beliefs about feeding horses that have been taken for granted for years are no longer valid. We have found that feeding practices, like so many phases of the equine industry, employ the art as well as the science of equine husbandry.
Body Condition
Report
One question we are often asked is "How's my horse's weight?" While body weight is an important individual characteristic, what is more important is body condition score or BCS. BCS uses both how your horse looks and how it feels to the touch to evaluate the amount of body fat it has. BCS is scaled from 1 to 9, with 1 being emaciated with no fat, and 9 being grossly obese.
Internal Parasite Control
Report
Through the spring and summer we have seen several cases of parasite infestation in horses that have been regularly dewormed. We feel that there are several possible reasons for the increase in cases that we are seeing. One of the reasons is that weather conditions have been dry and much of the manure in pastures has not been dissipated by rain, thus exposing parasite eggs to the elements that aid in reducing the load of parasite eggs present. Another reason we see an increase in parasite related problems is that parasite eggs build up in pastures from year to year.
