Depending upon what the horse does for a living (racing, showing, pasture ornament) and where you live at (Minnesota vs. Florida), your vet should take a look at your horse and administer vaccines once or twice a year. This changes significantly if you have a pregnant mare - your vet should vaccinate her several times throughout her pregnancy.

More visits are recommended though to insure the horses health is maintained.
