Horses commonly suffer from three types of parasites: strongyles, which can cause serious gastrointestinal issues; roundworms (ascarids), particularly in young horses, leading to digestive blockages; and pinworms, which cause irritation and itching around the tail. Regular deworming and fecal testing are essential for managing these parasites and maintaining a horse's health. Proper pasture management also helps reduce the risk of infestations.
