[RC] Vaccinations - Kari HanesIt's that time of year again, snow is melting!! I need some unbiased advice about vaccinations. Ofcourse my vet wants to give all nine horses a "five-way". We have done that in the past but I am wondering if it's really needed for all. I'm ashamed to admit I don't know the definition/contents of a 5-way.Three of the horses don't leave the property and are in there own pasture. Do these 3 need a five-way or are there other options (my cousin mentioned a 3-way??). The six we work, show and breed with are getting the same as last year. And, of course, they are all getting the west nile vac. again. Can anyone share what they are doing with multiple horses? TIA Kari Montalee Arabians Holton, MI ============================================================ The CRI was originally a test for humans developed at UCLA in 1939. A professor at UC Davis named Morey Fowler became interested in this and wondered how it would work on horses and started testing it. Dr. Fowler was at one time the head vet at Tevis. A young vet named Kerry Ridgeway worked with him on this project helping to collect the data...........and as they say, the rest is history... ~ mb ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
