Parasitism is considered as one of the most devastating health challenge of man and animals (Ola-Fadunsin and Ibitoye, 2017) including horses. Haemoparasitism in horses are majorly vector (arthropod) borne in transmission. They are major impediments to equine development in parts of the world where they are endemic and they have a specific impact on international trade (Kerber et al., 2009; Eyob et al., 2011). Horses infected with equine babesiosis and theleriosis remain carriers for long periods and act as source of infection for ticks. Stress, such as after intensive training or transport, may lead to recrudescent parasitaemia in carrier animals, influencing the performance of sporting horses (Kerber et al., 2009). Horses are exposed to a complex mixture of intestinal parasitic helminths. Among these parasites are nematodes, trematodes and cestodes. Mixed specie infections are most commonly found to infect horses (Berhanu et al., 2014). They cause numerous degrees of damage depending on the species, nutritional and the immune status of equines (Enigidaw et al., 2015). Ectoparasitism in horses that include ticks, mites, flies and lice continue to cause a significant threat to the health of horses. They can aid in the proliferation of life cycle of some internal parasites (Payne et al., 2017). Ectoparasitism is influenced by a number of factors such as age, body condition, breed and climate conditions (Osman et al., 2006). Generally, parasitism in horses causes a lot of negative impact on the animal including chronic weight loss, retarded growth anemia, icterus,
