Equine Vaccination Guidelines

Equine vaccination guidelines recommend regular immunizations to protect horses from common diseases such as tetanus, strangles, influenza, and rabies. Generally, foals begin vaccinations at 4-6 months, with booster shots every 6-12 months depending on the vaccine and risk factors. Adult horses should stay current with their vaccines, especially if they have contact with other horses or travel. Vaccination schedules may vary based on location, environment, and individual health, so consulting a veterinarian ensures optimal protection. Staying up-to-date helps prevent outbreaks and promotes overall horse health.
