Karen, certainley not trying to get into a disagreement with you. we do this with our herd. They have lots of room Our place (27 acres, and our broodmare/baby pasture 2000 acres) Also, it helps tremendously that Sally is a Doctor. She has years of medical background in vaccines and studies vet journals and all kinds of stuff that bores me to death...so our situation is unique. So, saying that "once your body or a horses has > made > antibodies for the virus, it stays in the body much much longer > than the > drug companies want you to know" isn't telling the full story. Never said it was the full story. But I disagree that horses need all their shots every year, and that the shots need to be given in one or 2 shots in 1 visit. Thats only good for the vet, not the horse. Skye tropicaltreks.com 808-443-6085 Fire Island Professional Farrier Service-640-6080
