How do you set the Wormer on a horse?
Once you know how much your horse weighs, you are ready to set the dial on your paste wormer to the correct dosage. Twist the plastic ring on the plunger to unlock it. Slide it over to the appropriate weight marked on the plunger and then twist it back down to lock it in place. Remove the small plastic cap on the tip of the syringe.
Do you have to use dewormers on horses?
But since horses today don’t roam wild, and they do live in pastures and stalls, periodically, due to increased exposure, it may be necessary to do something about their parasites. Dewormers work pretty well; here are some “natural” alternatives that don’t. 1. “Proper nutrition” – Of course, horse should get the best quality feed available.
Why are dewormers not a problem in the wild?
“Natural” Dewormers. In the “natural” wild, internal parasites aren’t the same problem as they are in domesticated horses. That’s mostly because, in the wild, horses are running around all the time, roaming over miles and miles. They aren’t confined to a fenced pasture, where they eat, poop, and eat some more.
What kind of worming paste should I give my Horse?
Most horse worming pastes have an artificial apple flavor to help disguise the taste, so it will fit in nicely with your apple/carrot/grain concoction. Just mix enough of this that you know your horse will eat the whole thing.

What can I give my horse to get rid of Worms?
Wheat bran. Some “natural” folks say that wheat bran helps carry worms out of the horses, like some sort of intestinal bellhop. However, good research has show that bran doesn’t change the character of the horse’s feces at all. It doesn’t prevent colic either, I’m sorry to say. Wheat germ oil may be said to “discourage” tapeworms.
