Preventative Care

The main reason for deworming and vaccinating on a regular basis is for the overall health of the horse. An added benefit is the fact that it is much less expensive to do preventative care than to treat a horse for a disease, including the time the owner is unable to use the horse, the cost of medications, and the possible suffering the animal may endure such as in case of colic.
