Protect your horse’s health with our range of wormers for horses, designed to target common internal parasites such as redworm, tapeworm and roundworm. Regular worming is essential to help prevent weight loss, digestive issues and more serious health complications caused by parasite infestations.
Our selection of equine wormers includes trusted treatments in easy-to-administer formats such as paste syringes, gels, liquid and granules. Whether you’re following a strategic worming programme or treating a specific parasite, you’ll find effective solutions to support year-round parasite control.
Regular worming helps protect your horse from internal parasites that can cause serious health issues, including weight loss, colic and digestive problems. Horses typically pick up worms by grazing on contaminated pasture, where parasite eggs and larvae are present in droppings, or through contact with infected environments and equipment.
A consistent worming programme reduces the risk of large infestations, helps break the parasite lifecycle and supports your horse’s overall health and condition throughout the year.
Several horse wormers are effective against pinworms, but the key is choosing the right active ingredient rather than just the brand.
The most commonly used and effective wormers for pinworms include:
- - Pyrantel-based wormers such as Strongid-P, Embotape, Pyratape P and more.
- - Fenbendazole-based wormers such as Panacur.
- - Ivermectin-based wormers such as Eqvalan, Animec, Bimectin and more! Ivermectin-based wormers are typically available as pastes, but be sure to check the ingredients before purchasing.
- - Moxidectin-based wormers such as Equest.
Pyrantel and fenbendazole are often preferred for pinworm treatment, particularly where repeat dosing is needed, as they can be used more frequently to break the lifecycle.
While many wormers treat pinworms, effectiveness can vary due to resistance, and pinworms often require:
- - Correct dosing
- - Hygiene (washing tail/perineal area)
- - Possibly switching the active ingredient
Always check with your vet which option is right for your horse before purchasing.
