Parasite management practices used by owners of Australian Pony Club horses and the factors influencing their decision‐making processes

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 5, Page 305-310, May 2026.
There is a lack of information on horse parasite management practices currently used by individual horse owners in Australia. A voluntary, anonymous online survey was developed for and distributed by Pony Club Australia to its members seeking information on horse population; housing; paddock, manure and parasite management; and owner attitudes.
