I may be looking to lease/buy a horse for my kids to learn
to ride on.
The owner says it has summer sores. Has old scars around
mouth and one lumpy one just above the coronet band and the pastern. The
later, supposedly, does not cause the horse to be off. Supposedly has done
some endurance rides several years ago… with no issues with the vets or
finishing the rides.
From what I got off the internet, the best prevention is to
use Ivermectin to kill the worms that cause this.
Questions:
why would this horse have
recurring bouts of this -- if the owners are worming regularly?
could this possibly contaminate
my horses if I bring this guy onto the property -- geeze, does he have
these worms embedded in him?
