Typically a vet will need to administer the rabies vaccine so that you can get a current and legal rabies certificate, though this can vary by state. You can administer it yourself if the horse will absolutely never leave your property, but it is best to have a current rabies certificate, which will require you to have a vet give the shot.As well as Rabies, horses should also receive the Tetanus vaccine. Tetanus lives everywhere and can be fatal.

These risk based vaccines are Equine Herpes Virus (Rhino), Influenza, Strangles, Equine Viral Arteritis, Botulism, Potomac Horse Fevere, etc. http://www.aaep.org/images/files/Adultvaccinationtablerevised108.pdf
