The west nile thing is terrible.. My vet told me that the only vacination that really stops the horse from getting what you vacinate for is Tetanus.. They can chatter all they want about this.. When they come up with something that really works I will do it again. I have some friends in Idaho that vacinated and still lost the mare.. This is a big money thing like everything else.. What a shame..

Sorry, just had to say it..
