What is an appropriate deworming schedule for horses?
Foals should be dewormed at approximately two months of age and should receive a repeat dose every six to eight weeks until they reach the age of two. Please note, there are some deworming products not recommended in foals, please check with the clinic. Mature horses should start their deworming program between the months of April and May when the grass begins to grow. Depending on the product used, deworming should be repeated every 8 and 16 weeks until heavy fall frost. The final deworming after the frost should be a product that controls bots. At least one of the dewormings should control tapeworms.
