Thanks for the information. Since I'm guessing you like to read I found an article I thought was interesting because it explained some of the vaccines to me. It's on harmanyequine.com and then click on annual vaccinations.

No offense, but when it comes to large animal health, I think I'm beyond harmony.com. I prefer AAEP or VS web sites. Both are non-profit organizations dedicated to the health and welfare of horses

You seem to be very knowledgeable about horse health & care and your beyond my knowledge. I'm not a regular reader of Harmany but liked the article because some of it was in my terms of understanding.
Sorry to say I'm not familiar with AAEP & VS and it sounds like maybe I should get familiar with them. What does the initials AAEP & VS stand for? Thanks.
