When vaccinating your horse, it is important to consider its use, potential travel, and exposure to other horses, as well as the disease risks of your geographical location and the type of use and travel. Your veterinarian can assess your horse and determine the proper vaccine schedule.
All horses should receive the “core vaccines.” These are considered the minimum recommended vaccination protocol by the AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners):
- Eastern and Western Equine Encephalomyelitis
- Rabies
- Tetanus
- West Nile Virus
