If the horse had been treated properly with modern pharmaceutical, chemical wormers, it would not have had buckets of worms and would not have died. Parasites are opportunistic, thriving in environments that are less than optimally healthy in the host. According to some info I've been reading, when the gut is very healthy, parasites are not a major issue. It could therefore be said that too many worms are a symptom of an unhealthy gut. The problem with treating with "modern, pharmaceutical, chemical wormers" is that many horses will harbor parasites over and over again, because the base issue (guts that are not maximally healthy) is not being addressed, only the symptoms (worms). I would personally rather build a healthy gut environment in my horses than keep killing worms over and over.
