I am also interested in replies.  I have had my horses on Continuex.  I have 5 
horses, confined most of the year to 2 acres.

These horses have mostly been idle, but I have a young horse that I have been 
conditioning for his first ride this month.   I seem to remember someone 
posting (Heidi) on this subject, but cannot recall the reasons for caution.   
Does it interfere with the good bacteria in the gut?  Perhaps a probiotic to 
counter the daily wormer killing off the good guys?

Hi, everyone...  I sent an e-mail to RideCamp a couple days ago asking for 
opinions and information on the use of Strongid C daily wormer in endurance 
horses, and I was surprised to receive only three e-mails on the subject! After 
searching the archives, I saw there were some e-mails from the late 1990s 
indicating that Strongid C may be linked with anemia in endurance horses.  
However, I was wondering if those rumors proved false over time, as I have come 
up with no other negative info on Strongid C since the late 1990s. Do all of 
you feel this is a satisfactory product, then?  I simply had some concerns 
about feeding a horse a chemical toxin (albeit in small amounts) on a daily 
basis, year in and year out.  ...But maybe my fears are unfounded...  I'd 
especially be interested in hearing from any veterinarians out there on the 
subject.

Thanks!
