Deborah, an advanced event rider, has managed her family-owned eventing and breeding yard with 18 boxes and 45 acres Strensham, Worcestershire for 8 years. There are currently about 30 horses in the yard which include five outside liveries, the competition horses, brood mares and youngsters. She is now sponsored by Intelligent Worming.

Before putting her horses on Intelligent Worming programmes two years ago, Deborah devised her own worming regimes but found this was getting increasingly complicated as the number of horses grew. "It became difficult to keep track of it all and I was worried that I would forget what horses had been given which chemicals, particularly across the different age groups.

.............."So I did some research, saw Intelligent Worming advertised and picked up the phone. It’s so easy now and I don’t have to worry any more. I have learned such a lot being on the programme, particularly about the importance of worming each horse according to its individual worm burden.

I used to spend hours on the internet looking for the best prices and reading up about resistance but I now have a hassle free structured programme and can be out there riding instead. There is the small extra cost for using Intelligent Worming but really when you can see the benefits, it’s worth it. Had some of our four to six year olds been with Intelligent Worming as youngsters, I don’t believe they would have had some of the problems that have come to light since and which we are now tackling with the new programmes.

We find that some of our horses will consistently need worming less than others so the cost often balances out; but what’s more important is that we are not treating any of them with unnecessary chemicals," ends Deborah.
