🤩 When you buy a test from Westgate, you get more than just a worm egg count! Our purpose built laboratory provides a quick, easy to use and great value postal worm count service, with results you can trust. Every result also comes with vet approved, award winning follow up advice from our friendly and knowledgeable experts whenever you need it, via email, phone or DM.

🤓 Although we're qualified Registered Animal Medicine Advisors (RAMAs / SQPs) and legally able to sell wormers, we choose not to. This allows us to give completely impartial advice based solely on your horse’s results. If a treatment is needed, we can guide you on the most appropriate option for your horse and you can then purchase any wormers from your local tack shop, vet or a reputable online retailer.

🙌 It’s all part of our commitment to help you make informed decisions and support responsible, targeted worm control.

📮 If your horse, flock or herd is due a worm egg count, please wait until 5th January 2026, to send samples, as postal delays over Christmas and New Year can mean samples arrive too old to test. We're in the lab every day there is a post delivery, but on reduced hours. Our festive opening times can be found here 👉 bit.ly/ChristmasHours-2025

🎄 Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and some well deserved festive enjoyment, from everyone at Westgate x

Postal Worm Counts & Testing Service

Our mission is to improve the health and worm control of horses in the UK. Since 1999 our purpose built lab has been operating on the family farm in Northumberland to help vets and horse owners identify parasite burdens in their animals and target treatment appropriately.

But every year horses still die from parasite infections and thousands more are left with long term damage. Meanwhile resistance is the massive black cloud that not enough people are taking seriously. So this is what gets us out of bed every morning! Using fewer wormers slows the development of drug resistance as well as being better for the animals and the environment.

We offer an easy to use professional service and all tests include veterinary approved followup advice from our friendly team of experts. Our aim is to provide the best customer experience possible to help you navigate this sometimes complex aspect of your horse’s wellbeing.

Services include; worm egg counts for redworm and roundworm, the EquiSal saliva test for tapeworm plus pinworm, lungworm and liver fluke tests. We also offer faecal sand testing for horses to help guard against the risks of sand colic. This test measures sediment levels in the dung and gives a quantitative measure of the level found to help identify threat and assess treatment efficacy.
