This 30 yr old (approx) pony has a dull hair coat that is lifeless. The pony was tested for parasites with a positive result 5 weeks ago in May and was dewormed once. The neck and chest have worm hairs - a term I use for long hairs still firmly attached to the skin after the hair coat has shed.
Manure is picked up daily in the paddock the old fashioned way

Anthelcide EQ is a great example of reading the package insert. Most people give the whole tube for their full sized horse, but this product has 2 different doses. To get all the internal parasites, it will take 1 ½ tubes of this product for an 1100 pound horse. It is this higher dose that makes this product very successful.
The Greyston manure vaccuum is pulled with a small riding tractor. A large diameter hose is attached to the hole next to the engine. While driving through the paddock, the end of the hose is directed over a manure pile and sucked into the blue container. Manure can then be composted and used on the garden.

"Worm Hairs" are the long hairs along the base of the neck that can't be pulled out. In most horses, pulling them actually is painful. Deworming once a week for 3 weeks usually causes these long hairs to disappear.
