The cost of vaccines will depend on your location and on whether or not your vet has to come to you or you take your horse to him. The best way to find out pricing information is, therefore, to call your vet and ask. As for what vaccines are recommended in the Southern US, Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, Tetanus, West Nile Virus and Rabies are the core vaccines recommended in the US. In states bordering Mexico, Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis is also recommended. Then there are risk-based vaccines such as Strangles, Influenza, Equine Herpes Virus, Botulism, etc that are recommended based upon your horse's age, use, housing conditions, etc.

Core vaccines for all horses in the US include: Eastern and Western Equine Encephalitis, Tetanus, Rabies and West Nile Virus. These vaccines are recommended generally once a year though in some areas WNV vaccines are boostered every 6 months. All other vaccines are considered risk-based and recommended based upon the horse's age, use and management (stabling situation). For example, Strangles is not recommended simply for boarding situations. That vaccine carries more risk than other vaccines and is only recommended for horses in high risk situations such as breeding stables. You should ALWAYS contact your veterinarian to discuss your specific situation and determine what vaccinations are appropriate for your horse. Core vaccinations (just vaccinations, not the exam or Coggins test) will average around $100-125. If risk based vaccinations are administered, the price will increase as will the yearly cost if boosters of risk-based or core vaccinations are recommended.
