To some degree, this will vary depending upon where your horse is located at, and if your horse will be traveling within the next year. Your veterinarian will be your best source for information to figure out which vaccines your horse should receive. The core annual vaccines are tetanus and rabies; every horse needs both of these no matter where they are at. In the United States and anywhere else West Nile Virus is endemic, your horse should receive a WNV vaccine once in the spring if you have a full mosquito kill over the winter or twice a year (spring and fall) if mosquitoes breed year-round. Vaccination against EEE, WEE and VEE may also be a good idea depending upon the local viral loads. There are also vaccines for EHV-1 and EHV-4; most horses should have these once per year although pregnant mares should be boostered several times. There are also vaccines against strangles, although this is an optional vaccine currently.
While this list sounds long, the good news is the number of shots is pretty low - most of the big ones in the above list are in a combination vaccine, so it's one injection to protect against several diseases.
