The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of large gastrointestinal parasites in horses, with the special focus on botflies from family Gasterophilidae as well as tapeworm Anoplocephala magna previously reported in Poland. 254 digestive tracts of 66 foals, born in 2009, 67 yearlings born in 2008, and 121 older horses were obtained from a slaughter-house near Krakow in 2009 and dissected. The horses were bred in small farms and sold mainly for economic profits. The history of horse deworming was unknown. Larvae of Gasterophilus intestinalis were the most common and found in 10.6% of the examined horses. Parascaris equonim was collected form 7.9% of the horse population, with the highest intensity of infection in foals and yearlings. The Oxyuris equi pinworm and Anoplocephala perfoliata tapeworm were observed only in two horses (0.8%), respectively.
