Vaccination Guidelines
Vaccinations
The most common vaccinations are for Equine Influenza and Tetanus.
The primary course consists of two vaccinations:
- 1st vaccine at day 0.
- 2nd vaccine at day 21-92 after the 1st vaccine.
- The first booster is 150-215 days after the 2nd vaccine.
Once the primary course has been completed the horse is able to compete, however, if the horse does not have its first booster the course is not complete and therefore will have to start again.
After the first booster has been given the horse will require a vaccination annually, unless competing. Currently the Equine Influenza guidelines for horses that are competing state that the horse or pony will require a booster every 6 months but this has to be given 7 days prior to the competition.
