Horse vaccinations are a vital component of basic horse care. The American Veterinary Medical Association divides vaccinations into two categories. The first category of horse vaccinations refers to CORE VACCINATIONS, vaccinations that all horses should have. They include * Tetanus * Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis * West Nile Virus * Rabies The second category is referred to as RISK BASED VACCINATIONS. The necessity of these vaccines vary from region to region and even between individual horses (meaning that some horses are more susceptible to certain diseases than others). The vaccinations in this category include: * Anthrax * Botulism * Equine Herpesvirus (Rhinopneumonitis) * Equine Viral Arteritis * Equine Influenza * Potomac Horse Fever * Rotaviral Diarrhea * Strangles The best way to determine whether your horse needs the vaccines in this category is to consult a trusted large animal veterinarian in your area.
