I agree strongly about the use of Strongid C. I
use it for both of my horses. One is a young Arab who is turning out to be
too small for me (about 15 HH and I'm 6'4'') and the other is an
Andalusian/Belgian cross who is my size (16.3HH and about 1600
lbs). Not only does the Strongid seem to enhance the overall health and
reduce the risk of colic, but it does make their coat shiny! It
is odd that I am usually the only owner at the barn(s) who uses
it.
I also subscribe to the Pfizer PreventiCare
program through my vet. The PreventiCare Colic Assistance Plan, if your
horse colics and requires surgery, will reimburse the operating surgeon for
surgical costs and three days of aftercare up to $5,000. This is a good
addition to the peace-of-mind emergency fund.

For what it's worth Mickey.......Strongid C is an
excellent wormer given daily to a horse. They also have a program that you
can sign up for thru your vet that will cover vet expenses if your horse colics
while on their product. I don't have all the details, talk to your vet
about it. I have all my horses on Strongid C and have never had one colic
on me. I use a paste wormer twice a year (when they get their spring and
fall shots) to cover bots and tapes. An added benefit to the Strongid C is
a beautiful shiny coat. Hope this info helps you plan your
expenses. Patty
