Everyday I’m asked shall I just give my horse a pramox - the answer is often NO.
Pramox is advised to be given after the first frost for horses under the age of 4 and for some horses over the age of 20 as these horses do not have immunity to encysted red worm. Horses between 4 & 20 should have a minimum of an annual tape worm test and 3 monthly worm egg counts. If you would like to discuss your individual horses requirements then please get in touch and we are happy to help. We offer in house WEC and tape worm tests that you can collect from us. PLEASE HELP STOP the growing problem of wormer resistance.

OFFER FOR A LIMITED TIME ONLY 50% OFF your horse’s first and second Flu & Tetanus vaccines, for horses whose vaccinations have lapsed or have never been vaccinated (excluding horses under the age of 2).
Vaccinating your horse against Equine influenza and tetanus is extremely important Equine influenza (EI) is highly prevalent in the UK, with numerous outbreaks reported annually, the virus can travel up to 5km in favourable conditions so even if your horse lives alone it is still at risk from infection.
A horse doesn’t need to leave home to be at risk of tetanus, as the bacteria is found in soil throughout the UK, and most cases of tetanus are fatal. The only way to prevent your horse from contracting tetanus is by vaccination.
