Who am I?

Hi, I’m Mal — the horse-crazy human behind Mal’s Equine Worm Egg Counts.

I’ve spent years working with horses in all sorts of settings, and I know how overwhelming worm control can feel. There's so much advice out there (some of it outdated), and it’s not always clear what’s best for your horse.

That’s where I come in.

I provide faecal worm egg count testing and practical advice to help horse owners make smart, science-based decisions — without the guesswork. Whether you’re managing one pony or a whole herd, I’m here to make targeted worm control simple and stress-free.

This work matters to me because I care deeply about horse health, slowing down resistance, and helping owners feel confident in their choices.

Got a question? Just ask — I love chatting about parasites (seriously).
