OK, I followed the schedule for two years, and now, in year three, have had negative fecals for 3 consecutive years -- taken sometimes in spring, sometimes in fall, always long after a deworming.
Last year I dewormed once with Ivermectin Gold (I think - it included tape) in the fall. This spring, the fecal was again negative.
I have two horses in a closed herd. My mare gets used in company, but turned out only at home, except for the rare clinic.
Can I stop deworming and just do annual fecals? Or should I continue with a once-a-year combo product?
Thanks,

Wonderful Jerre,
We recommend you start deworming according to fecal results, see the schedule article's "What the Experts Recommend" for specific recommendations on instituting this program.
