Collect the samples
Follow our easy photo guide (right). Choose a day to collect samples when worming is due or overdue for most of the horses. This is important so that you don’t get a false result caused by wormer still working in your horse. The dung should be as fresh as possible but can still be posted the day after collection.

1. Use the glove to pick up a small piece of fresh dung.

2. The sample should fill the container.

3. Label the sample with horse’s name and number it too if you are sending more than one sample in the envelope. Please write in ball point pen as water based inks may wash off.

4. Put the container in the plastic bag. Do not put any paperwork in with it.

5. Put sample, paperwork and payment or voucher into the padded bag. Pack flat to stamp as First Class ‘Large Letter’ (If the bag is not flat it will stamp as First Class Packet instead and cost you more to send) For more information please visit www.royalmail.com
