    11. DEWORMING

    Deworming your horse is critical to keep it free from internal parasites and infections. Many deworming medications are now offered over the counter, and can fight against infections such as botflies. Botflies are a normal nuisance for horses, especially during the late summer when there are frequent flies. If administered correctly, deworming medication can help decrease the number of bot larvae in your horse's stomach. (petMD)
