The best place is from your vet or local saddlery! You may get a cheaper price elsewhere, but what is the point, if your not getting the correct advice for the time of year Also, worm counting is a much economic way (and safer for the environment and helps stop worm resistance), so I would investigate this option before buying cheap wormers

I do use worm counts though and only tend to have to worm twice a year, with the odd extra wormer if the ponies have higher than normal counts. No comment on where I get my wormers but it is the cheapest place I have found!

Its ok if you have only 1 or 2, but being the largest Dartmoor stud in the north of england, it would be difficult trying to obtain samples from individuals, my lot run in groups and are wormed as a group, with proper horse wormers under a vets guidance. I just wondered if there was a cheaper option that works, and what other people do that have 40+ ponies to look after.

we go use a great animal store to get ours, when you have 80 of the darlings to worm on a regualr basis trying to find the cheapest is hard to do but hay at least they are a lot cheaper than the vets who charge like burger vans at county shows!

mile end equestrian( have a website and online ordering), discounts for 6 or more tubes and free 1st class postage, agree when you have 6 or more to worm you have to shop around!!

I own 65 horses and ponies and we have ordered from various suppliers in H&H etc but find the cheapest way was to go into our local Agriculture shop and ask them what special deal they will do us for wormers as we are buying so many at a time and they have done us a fab deal, if you don't ask you don't get.
