Dr O-
The stable where I board requires that you either use a daily feed-through wormer, or worm every 8 weeks (odd numbered months, between the 1st and 15th). The choice of wormer is up to you. The horses are turned out in groups of 3-4 on 2.5 acre paddocks. The "herds" are stable unless someone moves in or out, but the paddock areas receive heavy use.
Since I have to worm with something every 8 weeks, how would I integrate the "Quest" year, using your 3 year rotation?
I currently use the Rotational schedule published by Safe-Guard
Thanks!

You could use the Quest every 2 months Mary. If you think your manager would be open to it discuss the Overview article with them, there is much wrong with the persistent use of daily pyrantel and the unnecessary use of dewormer. Monitoring a set of properly timed fecal tests might reveal important information about the deworming program.
