Why risk a deadly disease when you can vaccinate against it?

Tetanus: up to 80% of horses that get tetanus will die1- sadly, owners of affected animals often have to euthanase their horse to end the misery.

Strangles: highly debilitating, potentially fatal and extremely contagious respiratory disease that will keep your horse out of action - and still contagious - for weeks, or even months2,3
