That depends on what you’ve got with the horse and where it lives.

If you only have the horse as a private hobby then you will get through with flu (Influenza, every 6-12 months) and tetanus (every 3 years). Many inoculations then still herpes (every 6 months). In some cases it is prescribed. In others it is the decision of the holder.

If the horse is to go tournaments, other vaccinations may also be required.

Tollwut is no longer widespread in Germany. So you only have to inoculate if the horse is to travel longer.

Otherwise, there are still rotavirus, borreliosis or the druses. I’d always see what’s happening in the area where you’ve already been, and what’s more not.

You don’t have to. But there can be various factors that make it useful for you:

1. Protection of the animal. At least Tetanus is very interesting here. To the rest, let the veterinarian of your trust advise you, often depends on further circumstances.

Two. Protection of the stock. Here is the decision, which is at least required, to the stable operator.

3. In tournament sports there are requirements, depending on the association. Some course providers take this as a reference point for their specifications. If your horse does not have the vaccinations, there is no participation.

“must” not at all. Except for the tournament.

Tetanus is recommended every 2 years, but longer periods are also fine.

Influenza is also recommended – for the tournament basically every 6 months, otherwise the manufacturer recommends annually.

Herpes is such a question of faith – for the tournament every 6 months mandatory.

West-Nil at the discretion, I just don’t know the interval.

Everything else – it depends.
