I have stated over and over again that I do NOT dismiss this product, and in
fact, use it successfully in other horses in my practice.  It is ONLY in
endurance horses that I have encountered problems, and ONLY in endurance
horses that I do not recommend its use. Most endurance horses are managed in
such a way that parasites should not be a major issue anyway, so in my
opinion, this product is not indicated for our endurance horses in the first
place.
