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.
