Worming horses without chemicals

First of all, why should we want to do such a thing?

·        As as an animal specialist in alternative therapies, with a passion for horses, I am constantly working to reverse the damage that the harsh worming chemicals do to animal’s systems, on one occasion, fighting for the horse’s life and that was directly caused by a chemical wormer. 

·        I see many, many animals (mostly horses and dogs) who have high worm burdens when they have been chemically wormed regularly, some on very expensive veterinary preparations.  So chemical worming preparations don’t always work as well as we would like them to.

·        Chemical wormers kill the “critters” in the soil that are essential for the health and robustness of pasture/plant life.  i.e. from tiny insects to worms, to dung beetles, to microbes.  This is MUCH more important than I ever realised.
