We have some great numbers to post...

We did our fecals today; we have 12 horses residing on the farm, of those 12 only 4 or 33% had + fecal counts and need to be de-wormed!  Of those 12, one lives in his own private pasture, KKoi, and the other 11 horses live in the herd.  Of those 4 the major offender is a newer boarder, who, while she was wormed just prior to coming and left in isolation for 2 weeks, still maintains a full heavy load and dirtied the fields up some.  We say this as the other 3 horses were negative at the last fecal count so they must have climbed up due to her sharing the paddock.  Oh and the counts 150 epg, 275 epg and 125 epg. Nothing huge or scary, but just enough to de-worm this go round. No matter, the proof is in the management techniques we use here at Evergreen Farm.  Where else can 11 horses maintain a winter sacrifice field not much bigger than 5 acres and only 4 of them need to be de-wormed after 5 months?  And the elderly and the coming 2 year old aren't even on the list of needing de-worming!  That's attention to detail!  It is amazing what a little field drag and isolation of new horses can do when they arrive.  That's maintenance and management perfection, that's enjoying your horse...  from the hoof up!
