At least annually, which is the recommended schedule posted by the vaccine manufacturer. However, if your horse was vaccinated in April and then has a nasty deep gouge in February, your veterinarian will likely give a booster vaccine at this time just to make sure.

Horses should be vaccinated against Tetanus yearly and if injured it may be recommended to booster the Tetanus vaccine if it has been more than 6 months since their last vaccination. This is because horses are one of the most highly susceptible species in the world to Tetanus and they shed the bacteria that causes it in their feces which means that they are commonly exposed.
