What shots do horses get in the spring and which in the fall?
Just need to know so I can get my horses‘ shots taken care of. He my first horse so I am still learning.
*****Also if you know which shots you can give your horse and which ones the vet gives that would be helpful too! Oh, in the state of ohio.
I do not give any shots in the fall
Spring- I give 5 or 6 way vaccine, which jumbles everything into one, cheaper shot (tetnaus, eastern and western encephalitis, rhino and flu)
That plus West nile is your basics.
Some give a strangles vaccine (IM or internasal) but they are not considered to be that effective.
If your horse has not had shots before, he may need a booster one a month or so later.
I also give rabies every 2-3 years.
You can buy all your shots online, and get them at most stores. Online is super cheap, but the shipping costs are a lot if you only have one horse.
All of the shots can be bought and given by you. The rabies will not hold up in a court of law if your animal bites someone and they suspect the horse of having rabies (which is highly unlikely), but it vaccinates them.
If you have never given a shot to a horse, make sure you know where it is ok to give one, as well as what types of allergic reactions to look for.

Easier to train dressage horses to jump or jumpers to perform dressage?
Is it easier to teach a dressage horse to jump or is it easier to teach an intermediate jumper dressage? Seems like if you have a good dressage horse, it would be easy to turn it into a decent jumper–some have even described jumping as "dressage over obstacles". What do you think??
A good dressage horse should learn to jump but some horses simply wont. A jumper you can already ride of course so it’s simply refining and adding more training. Like someone said they can be wired. It really does depend on the horse. You also get dressage horses who then learn to jump and figure out "jumping is fun and I do it right after this fancy crap so if I canter my Entire dressage pattern I’ll get to jump sooner" Rotten mare. Dressage over obstacles also depends on the style of jumping, cross country= not real fancy
