Unless, of course, you are dealing with a horse of unknown history (or of
a known history of no deworming), which might have encysted small
strongyles due to the gut already having a large population of adults.  If
that's the case, deworming with ivermectin will kill the adults and
mobilize the younger stages to move into the gut, so that in a few weeks
you have a nice equine egg shedding machine...  If that's the case, a
purge deworming is still in order, even if it isn't winter.
