When initial vaccinations are given to foals depends on the vaccination history of the mare, the risk of exposure to specific diseases and the specific type of vaccine you are talking about. Foals of unvaccinated mares are generally started on vaccines between 3-5 months of age. Foals of vaccinated mares are generally started on vaccinations around 6 months of age. But again, the specific risks in an area should be taken into consideration. Your veterinarian should always be consulted to plan an appropriate vaccination regimen.

When you vaccinate your horse depends on where you live, and the vaccinations that you are giving to them. Usually horses are vaccinated in early spring, however some vaccinations need to be done periodically throughout the year. Tetanus is often given when there is an injury.

When to vaccinate foals initially depends on the vaccination status of the dam and the diseases to be vaccinated against. Horse owners should always consult their veterinarian to discuss the needs for their foals based upon their specific situation.

What are the vactionations that horse need for a horse compation?

You need to give your horse rhinopneumonitis vac.s and influenza vac.s every 3 months or somewhere around that, but I'd ask your vet to be sure about when to give each and every vaccinations. Then give your horse strangles vac.s which you should consult your vet on. Then you should also give him/her Equine Encephalitis vac.s anually, once a year. You should ask your vet on what kind of vac.s you need for your area. There is eastern, western, and venezualian vac.s for equine encephalitis. You should also give your horse Tetanus vac.s which is the prophylaxic vaccination. And that is all I know about what to do about vac.s I read most of it in a 4-H horse book, Horse Science, but you should ALWAYS ask your vet on what to use and when. That is the most accurate, asking your vet. So please I am just telling you I would seriously ask your vet on what to use and when. I still ask my vet too.
