I have never vaccinate my horse for Rabies, But this year is different. I called my Vet and they said yes I should do this. So this year will be his first.

Good reminder. I don’t vaccinate my horse but rabies is not rampant in our area. And I don’t think an annual shot is necessary.

IVE BEEN GIVING MY HORSES RABIES VACCINES FOR A WHILE NOW, ALONG WITH THEIR OTHER YEARLY VACCINES. THEY GET A 6-IN-1, WN, AND STRANGLES AS WELL AS GETTING COGGINS CHECKED. I DO THIS IN EARLY SPRING BEFORE THE BUGS COME OUT PLUS I’LL HAVE A NEW COGGINS PAPER FOR THE YEAR. ITS JUST PART OF RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP, AND ITS A SHAME THAT OTHERS DONT CARE WHETHER OR NOT THEY PROTECT THEIR HORSES. MY HORSES ARE TOO IMPORTANT, PLUS IVE INVESTED TOO MUCH TIME AND MONEY IN THEM, FOR ME NOT TO PROTECT THEM. I JUST WISH OTHERS FELT THE SAME.

Every year I have to argue with the vets here to give my horses rabies vaccination. Better to be safe than sorry.

I am always amazed at how many horse owners don’t vaccinate against rabies. It is 100% fatal, can be transmitted to humans and other pets, and is one of the cheapest vaccines – why not vaccinate?
