Re: [RC] [RC] natural horse wormers? - Eric Rueter
What do you (the collective you) consider a horse's "natural
environment"? I know that I have always tended (without really
putting much thought into it) to consider the Western states as their
natural environment. However, if I remember what I was taught in
primary school (back in the days of chalk and slate), the horses that
currently inhabit the western states are really ferral horses, and
are not native to that area. So, Are there any truly "wild" horses
left in the world, and what is their natural environment? Can the
ferral horses (or any long term domesticated animal like cats and
dogs) ever really be considered "wild/natural" after thousands of
years of domestication?

there has never been any evidence that "natural" wormers, such as DE,actually work, or that natural antibiotics, such as echinacia, work either. I was very surprised to hear this from her. I think "Nature's wormer" is for the horse to be free range and not have to graze around his own manure. Since we invented fences, they're no longer in a "natural environment".
