Paracites, Worms and Westgate Labs. Managing this minefield with Claire Shand
Claire Shand may be marketing director of Westgate Labs but this is no sales pitch!Westgate Labs was founded it seems by looking at trying to help us manage the parasite burdens in our equine friends from a different perspective, founded in 1999 Westgate asked the question, "Do we need to worm so regularly"? instead lets test first to see what's there and then make a plan for your horse as an individual.This conversation is so packed out with information it had our heads spinning as Claire shared knowledge and experience with us in spade fulls.So please do come and join us and stay safe as you do and we hope you get as much from this as Matthew and Mark have as well as enjoying it too!https://www.westgatelabs.co.uk/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADyCKf9H8sNnicRwyFKOj5G1rCAcb&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwcns5sekiwMVHItQBh006RPUEAAYASAAEgKUOvD_BwE
