Last Wednesday was a particularly spectacular spring day. After some recent April showers, the sun was shining, the grass looked a few shades greener, and I couldn’t wait to race out to the barn after work to hack Hannah and Lily. So when my trainer texted me that morning to say the veterinarian would be vaccinating all the horses, my immediate thought was, “Wait, does this mean I shouldn’t ride them later?”

It pays to know how your individual horse reacts to different vaccines.
