That being said, I do believe there is something to what he is saying. I think we over vaccinate out horses and do have some immunity problems because of it. Of the equine vets that I know, all but one vaccinate way less than most people. They do rabies every 3 years instead of every year, they don't do Flu/Rhino unless they are going to be in environment that puts the horse at risk, etc. Does that mean I'll stop vaccinating my horses - No, but I have cut back on the number of vaccines I give them. -- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang) "Yet when all the books have been read and reread, it boils down to the horse, his human companion, and what goes on between them." - William Farley
