∙ 12y agoThere is no one-size-fits-all vaccination protocol for horses. This is because age, geographic location, boarding/stabling situation and use of the horse all play a role in the risks for contracting disease. For this reason, vaccination plans should be made by consulting with your veterinarian about the specifics of your horse's situation.
