Re: [RC] colic and endurance (was mustangs in endurance ) - rides2farI'd figure 5 "rough years" on the range would be a good start. :-) I read once a study from a University where they tested for worms in different situations. They tested one horse that was on 50 acres and had never been wormed in his life. He had practically none. Then they tested yearlings that had been wormed every 6 weeks but were kept in cramped conditions and they all had more. I'll be free range horses do a pretty good job of not grazing near manure and loading themselves up. Think how many of our domestic raised horses have been kept in cramped situations, minimal turnout, not wormed regularly, muddy lots, etc. The range upbringing sounds better and better. If their feet looked good I'd be happy.
