The importance of vaccinating your horse

Vaccinations are a crucial component of horse management – they are designed to keep your horse healthy by helping the horse’s immune system to defend itself against infection and disease. In fact, veterinarians say vaccinations are just as important as deworming regularly, hoof trimming, dental care, fresh water and clean nutritious hay.

On today’s program veterinarian Dr. Rozann Stay with Iowa Equine, based in Ankeny, Iowa, talks about the importance of vaccinating your horse.
