I saw this link to a very interesting and thorough report on parasites/worming in horses and how the situation has changed over the years. It's lengthy but I found it extremely useful and explains the odd FEC results I got this autumn: www.aaep.org/custdocs/ParasiteControlGuidelinesFinal.pdf
I'll need to re-read it to make sure I fully understand but I now realise that in a closed herd sharing a pasture, such as mine, a varying FEC doesn't mean some ponies have more worms than others but some are higher shedders than others. Think I will have to go through it again and highlight the main points.
