Our last two horses never needed to be wormed while they were here. The vet said is was probably because of good manure management. I rotate pastures and clean up the manure in the pasture that they are moving out of. The manure is then composted in a covered area. The compost is used in the garden or given away and not put back in the pasture. This method also helps greatly with fly control.The Guy Who Writes Thishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14640163878085652809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-41895577833142268692007-04-19T09:36:00.000-05:002007-04-19T09:36:00.000-05:00Is there a type of bug repellent for horses that s...Is there a type of bug repellent for horses that smells like cinnamon?

I'll add a few, repairing things that they chew on like bridles if I don't hang them up in their bridle bags, stall doors that they kick if they have to stay in for a couple of days due to bad weather, ink for the computer for printing off adorable pixs of them that you just can't resist and shampoos, conditioners, Show Sheen and other 'beauty aids'. Worth every penny!!!Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.com
