Re: garlic for bugs?
This message is from: "Joe Glick" I've been feeding garlic to my horses for a number of years and would hate to do without. I start feeding it around March or April until October. I don't feed it during the winter months. I very rarely use fly spray while feeding garlic. Keep in mind that not all garlic is created equal. I buy mine from Springtime because it's the best I have found. Here is the link to their site: http://www.springtimeinc.com/ The product is called Bug Off Garlic for horses. They also have a comparison chart showing the difference between their garlic and "other" garlic. Some time ago there was a article in a popular magazine proclaiming garlic is bad for horses. The tests were done with cheap grade garlic and NOT Springtime garlic. I have a copy of a letter that Springtime wrote to the magazines' publisher asking them to do a rebuttal, which they never did. If anyone wants to read it, let me know.

This message is from: "Perry" I've fed my girls garlic for a couple of years now. I've been very pleased. I only need fly wipe around their udders, eyes and ears.

RE: Garlic
This message is from: "Jacquelyn Leuener" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Springtime Inc. has an excellent garlic powder for equines. I start to slowly incorporate it in the late spring and use all summer to help ward off sweet itch and insects. Not sure if it helps with ticks but works for the vampire bats. He he he Springtime also has another product or "superfood" called Spirulina. They come in wafers and the combo of the garlic & spirulina wafers seemed to work well in aiding the immune system during the hot buggy months here. www.springtimeinc.com -Jacquelyn in Washoe Valley NV The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw

Re: garlic as dewormer
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Dr. Brian, for your discussion on worms. I guess we don't want to think abot how bad they really can be! As always, your discussion was very informative. I wonder if you can give us your favorite worming schedule? How often and with what products? I've heard so many things lately about what products are needed, and I'm confused! My vet recently suggested to me that we worm with Quest every 2 months all year, except for once in the fall when we switch to Strongid to take care of the bots. No more rotation worming? Thanks in advance, we all value your advice and knowledge. Jan
