Strongid™-P
proves best wormer for large roundworms
|
A recent trial1
has shown that resistance to macrocyclic lactones such as ivermectin
and moxidectin-based products is reducing their efficacy against large
roundworms and that pyrantel-based Strongid-P has provided the most
effective treatment.
The trial, involving 26 horses on a stud in the Netherlands, demonstrated
continued evidence of large roundworm eggs despite regular treatments
with ivermectin and moxidectin. However, the egg counts were markedly
reduced with a subsequent treatment of Strongid-P.
The investigators
concluded that the most likely reason for the failure of macrocyclic
lactones to treat large roundworms was that the horses in the trial
had developed resistance to these wormers. They had been on a predominantly
ivermectin based treatment regime for the past 10 years and it was
suggested that the overuse of macrocyclic lactones may have caused
this resistance to develop.

A
Horse of Course with Don Blazer
It was
just one of those days. Or, in this case, nights.
Just over 227 years ago, Paul Revere rode into history.
Deacon Larkin loaned his chestnut Narragansett Pacer to Paul
for the ride. Although he never knew her name, he described
her as a "very good horse."
The Narragansett Pacer was unquestionably the most popular
saddle horse in America at the time. Bred in Rhode Island
in lush pastures bounded by the Atlantic and Narragansett
Bay, the horses
|
 |
were on the small
size, had good dispositions, great endurance, good manners and an
ambling gait. Their gait made them very pleasant to ride even though
they did not always pace--move both legs on the same side at the same
time.

Visitors
Looking For A Different Day Out with Entertainment, Excitement
and Education Should Travel to Rural Lincolnshire and Visit…….
The Attraction In The U.K. With The Truly Unique "Hands
On" Animal Experience.
"Many
previous visitors have likened this to "swimming with
dolphins"!"
Where else do you have to book a place to visit a farm? Quite
right, it's normally unheard of ........ but this farm is
not the usual visit!
|
For a start the
whole Centre is a charity to care for older and handicapped horses.
It has a very limited budget and is run entirely by volunteers!
Families, no matter
what their taste in entertainment, have to travel further to visit
Centres that offer something very different.
All in all
we believe we offer a thrilling experience to those who wish to spend
all day here.
It is certainly worth the journey!
We sincerely
hope that everyone who loves animals will take this chance to see
some of these magnificent animals that played such an important part
in our history and heritage!

year on SUNDAY, 14th JULY in front of RAGLEY HALL, ALCESTER, WARWICKSHIRE,

Ridden, there will be Open classes for Pleasure Driving (either
Exercise Carts or more elegant vehicles will be welcome), Fancy
Dress and Gymkhana. There will also be a Parade of Licensed Stallions
and, new this year, a Parade of Pure-Breds and Part-Breds For Sale.
For those
who wish to make a day of it, Ragley Hall and its extensive grounds
are open to the public and there is plenty to see besides the Caspian
Show. Class timings are approximate but should be helpful in planning
a uniquely rewarding day.
