Properly controlling internal parasites in horses isn’t as simple as we once thought. Gone are the days of rotational deworming neatly outlined on the calendar. Instead, veterinarians have a host of new recommendations for controlling internal parasites in horses without contributing to anthelmintic (deworming drug) resistance in parasites, an increasing problem.

If you’re a bit confused about these recommendations and what they mean for you and your horse, you’re not alone! To make the transition to targeted deworming easier, we’ve compiled 10 equine deworming and parasite resources available free on TheHorse.com. Find more information on the “Deworming and Internal Parasites” page or by searching “deworming” or “parasites” on TheHorse.com.
