Christine Court and Meredith Reiff grew up riding horses in the Colorado Rockies. It is their love of horses that reunited them after 20 years and it’s their love of horses that drives them in this endeavor to better equine lives.
When Christine’s horse reacted negatively to the regular paste dewormer she started researching. She quickly determined that the process of conducting fecal egg count tests was incredibly easy and extremely important. Meredith joined Christine in testing horses and realized that poor practices were leading horse owners on a collision course with parasite resistance.
The two figured that if they can test, anyone can… and should! After a year of researching the easiest and most effective techniques and teaming up with a leader in parasitology, the Eggzamin Kit was realized. With a Masters Degree in Veterinary Parasitology, Juliette’s passion and knowledge of the industry helped forge them forward. The goal is to raise awareness of how easy and important it is to Test First!
