Most horses need the basic 5-way, strangles, West Nile and in some countries rabies. The UK does not need the rabies vaccine. If your horse sustains an injury a tetnus booster is a good idea. In the US horses must have a coggins before they are allowed to go across state lines. It is always a good idea to consult a vet and he can advise as to which vaccines are needed in your area. Added:If a horse is from the UK and is being ridden in international competitions they will be required to have a rabies.

What all shots do miniature horses need?
Miniature horses require the same vaccinations as full-sized horses because they are susceptible to the same diseases. In the US, all horses should be vaccinated against Eastern and Western Equine Encephalytis, Tetanus, West Nile Virus and Rabies. These are considered "core vaccinations" by the American Association of Equine Practitioners. Besides these "core vaccinations", there are "risk-based" vaccinations such as Potomac Horse Fever, Strangles, Influenza, Equine Herpes Virus 1 & 4, Equine Viral Arteritis, etc. These vaccines are given based upon the risk of exposure. Horse owners should contact their veterinarian to get recommendations for their horses based upon the specifics of their situation.

What vaccinations are needed for all horses?
The necessary vaccinations for horses vary in different areas of the world. And even in a given area there is no one-size-fits-all vaccination program for horses because the risk of exposure to infectious agents can still be quite variable. In the United States, the American Association of Equine Practitioners has designated Eastern and Western Equine Encephalytis, West Nile Virus, Tetanus and Rabies as "Core" vaccinations. This means that the AAEP believes that all horses in the US should be vaccinated against these diseases yearly. There are several other vaccinations that are considered "risk based vaccinations", meaning that they should be given based upon the horse's risk of exposure. Examples of "risk-based vaccinations" are Influenza, Equine Herpes Virus 1 & 4, Strangles, Potomac Horse Fever, Botulism, etc. Risk factors can include geographic location, age and use of the horse and management of the horse. Horse owners should contact their local veterinarian to discuss the recommended vaccinations for their area and situation
