All core equine diseases pose grave dangers, but rabies presents the most serious threat for exposed horses and humans who encounter them. Annual vaccination is the only way to protect your horse against rabies — which is 100% fatal to horses once clinical signs appear. Only 1 out of 7 horses are vaccinated against rabies, a staggering number that puts so many horses at risk for this devastating disease. Provide dedicated care to your horse to protect against rabies as well as the other potentially deadly core diseases: West Nile virus, Eastern and Western equine encephalomyelitis and tetanus. Here’s Equine veterinarian, Dr. Kevin Hankins “"Most of the time you don't have any idea that horse has rabies. You will get exposed and that's the bad thing about rabies in horses and why it's really important because of the potential to spread to other humans. It's also a death sentence if the horse gets rabies. Why you should vaccinate, again, a properly vaccinated horse, that is a vaccine which is 100% effective.”
