All horses have worms. Icky but true! And they can cope with a small amount, but worms can cause serious illness - sometimes fatal.
But then there's the growing problem of worms becoming resistant to the worming treatments available. This poses a huge risk to horses' health, as resistance has been found towards all available drugs and there are no more in research. If worms become resistant to all of the drugs, we could end up with no way of protecting our horses, which could be catastrophic.
At Equichoice, we offer a horse-first, evidence-based approach to worm prevention. The steps are:
- Buy testing kits from us
- We receive the test results and advise you on whether or not your horse needs to be wormed
- If your horse does need to be wormed, we prescribe the right wormer for your horse, based on his clinical history and management
- If we can get to know you and your horse, we can adjust his worm testing and worming regime throughout his life with you.
In January 2026 we were given a clean sheet by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate in our inspection - we must be doing something right! Find out more on the product pages below, or contact us to speak to our specialist qualified "Registered Animal Medicines Advisor" Chantal, for advice.
