Guidelines advise that all horses should be risk assessed to inform worm control planning. Factors to consider in risk assessments include your horse’s age and, where relevant, the age of any horses it grazes with. Management is a key component of a risk assessment, including paddock hygiene, whether new horses are introduced and if effective quarantine measures are used. Recent test results also provide key pointers that can affect level of risk. To support owners in accounting for these factors, a free online risk calculator, whatsyourwormrisk.com, is now available that categorises horses as low, moderate, or high risk. This tool uses horse-specific data to assess the level of infection risk to an individual and provides outputs that inform management, testing and treatment approaches. The tool is a valuable resource for owners to use with their prescriber when discussing worm control.
