Let’s Talk Horse Vaccinations

June 11, 2019 by John Leave a Comment

Let’s Talk Horse vaccinationsVaccinations

What vaccinations do you give your horse?  How often do you give them?  What happens if your horse has a reaction to one of his vaccinations?  These are questions I put to our listeners. As part of the dialogue we, got to hear from people in many parts of the United States.  Some folks prefer giving their horses the 5 and 6-way combination shots.  Some people spread the vaccinations over two weeks, lessening the chance or strain of a reaction.

A Source of Good Information about Vaccinations

However you add it up, your horse needs help from some nasty diseases out there.  There is a lot of good information on the website of The American Association of Equine Practitioners.  While there is no standard protocol for a vaccination schedule that fits every horse, the Association recommends a set of core vaccinations for most horses.  Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, Rabies, Tetanus, and West Nile Virus fall into this core category.

Then there are the Risk-based vaccines.   Use these vaccines if your horse has a risk to exposure (not all horses do).  These include rabies, equine influenza, leptospirosis, strangles  and a few others.  Check out the information on their website to see which shots work best for your horses.
