This is what I've been saying for years and years about worming and what nature intends.

While on the subject of how nature takes care and 'intends' think about the fly thing in summer. We coat our horses and fat ponies in chemical laden sprays and potions then wonder why they get so fat... it's because they don't have to move about as much to escape the flies. In nature horses would find natural fly free places...where the breeze kept the flies at bay, or they would stand together using what nature intended them to use - long tails and long manes - to whisk the flies away from each other. Most of the day during summer months would have been spent moving around, not eating.
Clear the droppings from your meadows and add temporary shade if needs be with tarps but let nature take care of her own and keep those horses moving around.
