🪱 Thinking about deworming your horse? A one-size-fits-all schedule might be doing more harm than good.

Resistance to deworming medications is a growing concern in equine health. Overuse and routine rotational deworming, once a common practice, have led to parasites that are no longer affected by certain drugs. That’s why current best practices recommend targeted deworming based on F***l Egg Counts (FEC).

🔬 A FEC helps determine how many parasite eggs your horse is shedding and whether treatment is actually needed

🧪 F***l Egg Count Reduction Tests (FECRT) can evaluate how effective a dewormer is by comparing egg counts before and after treatment. This helps identify drug resistance on your farm and avoid ineffective treatments.

🐴 Not all horses need to be dewormed on the same schedule. By working with your vet to monitor parasite load and drug effectiveness, you can build a deworming program tailored to your horse’s risk level and environment.

🩺 The Vet’s Scoop 🐴✨

📣 This week’s highlight: W-3 Oil

“One of the reasons I recommend W-3 Oil is because of the added DHA. This omega-3 fatty acid provides targeted respiratory and joint support, making it a great option for senior and performance horses.”
— Dr. Fran Rowe, DVM

W-3 Oil delivers bioavailable omega-3s to support a healthy inflammatory response, immune function, and recovery. With added DHA from microalgae and natural Vitamin E for antioxidant support, it is ideal for horses of all life stages.

💡Tip of the Day!

🌾 Feed small, frequent meals and avoid long periods without forage to reduce the risk of ulcers and digestive upset.

A horse's stomach is designed for near constant grazing and keeps producing acid even when empty. Long periods without forage can increase the risk of gastric ulcers and discomfort.

Benefits of small meals and consistent access to forage include
✅Buffers the stomach acid
✅ Supports a healthy hind-gut microbiome
✅ Reduces stress and boredom
✅ Lowers the risk of ulcers, colic and digestive upset

Providing consistent access to hay or pasture helps your horse stay healthy, happy, and performing their best.

🐴 Breed of the Week: Falabella Horse

🌎 Meet the Falabella Horse, the world’s smallest horse breed!

Averaging under 8 hands tall (28–32 inches) at the withers, Falabellas still exhibit full-sized proportions typical of a standard horse, just in miniature form!

🇦🇷 Originating in 19th-century Argentina, these tiny horses were developed from local Criollo stock and selectively bred for their refined miniature stature and elegance.

A fun conformational fact: Falabellas have only 17 vertebrae instead of the usual 18! Despite their size, they remain strong, sturdy, and athletic.

💖 Known for their gentle and intelligent temperaments, Falabellas make wonderful companions and therapy animals. They’re also popular for in-hand or halter showing, and even for light driving.

✨ Small in size but mighty in heart, Falabellas prove that great things truly do come in small packages.

💬 Have you ever owned, or seen a Falabella before? We’d love to hear about it in the comments!
