Follow scientifically sound principles based on assessing each horse individually.
1. Vaccination: administer core vaccines (as defined by AAEP) based on titer testing. If titer testing is not available, consider geographical area, horse’s environment (ie stabling/showing/travelling schedule) and horse’s current health and immunological history in deciding which vaccines to use. Always spread out vaccines as much as possible throughout the year
2. Deworming: administer on an “as needed” basis depending on fecal egg count testing
3. Supplements: invest only in proven treatments
