What all shots do miniature horses need?

In the US, all horses should be vaccinated against Eastern and Western Equine Encephalytis, Tetanus, West Nile Virus and Rabies. These are considered "core vaccinations" by the American Association of Equine Practitioners. Besides these "core vaccinations", there are "risk-based" vaccinations such as Potomac Horse Fever, Strangles, Influenza, Equine Herpes Virus 1 & 4, Equine Viral Arteritis, etc. These vaccines are given based upon the risk of exposure. Horse owners should contact their veterinarian to get recommendations for their horses based upon the specifics of their situation.
