It's time to deworm our horses. This time of year we usually make sure we use a dewoming medication that targets bots in addition to all the other nasties that may be lurking in our horse's digestive system. Once a frost has hit, bot flies disappear, but their eggs and larvae don't. Regular parasite control, also called deworming, is important for maintaining your horse's or pony's good health.
