Horse First Autumn Worm Control Webinar
19 September 2025
Because every parasite risk is different
This autumn, join Westgate Labs and Austin Davis Biologics (creators of the EquiSal tapeworm test and the small redworm blood test) for a free, interactive webinar hosted by horse trainer and content creator Miri Hackett. Discover how to take control of parasite management on your yard with expert insights and practical tips.
📅 Thursday 16th October, 7pm (45 mins)
🎥 Live on Facebook
Do you know your horse’s parasite risk?
Why does this matter, and how can you use that knowledge to build a test-based programme that keeps your horse healthy while helping slow the spread of wormer resistance?
Factors such as age, management, and environment all affect parasite risk — and this year’s exceptionally dry summer has added new pressures. As we head into winter, it’s more important than ever to keep worm control on track and understand how resistance is changing the way we manage horses.
What you’ll learn:
- Why a risk-based approach matters for every horse
- How seasons and management affect parasite burdens
- Practical testing and treatment strategies
- Real examples from Miri’s own yard
- Q&A with our experts
🎤 Speakers:
- Claire Shand (Director & SQP, Westgate Labs)
- Professor Jacqui Matthews (Austin Davis Biologics)
- Hosted by Miri Hackett
Those that join us live will also be in with a chance to win a 4Count Plus Season Pack as part of a prize giveaway during the webinar.
