While the number of confirmed equine rabies cases every year is low, talking about this disease remains important because of the potential for human exposure—which does NOT have to involve a bite from an infected horse, as contact of skin or mucosa with the horse’s saliva could be enough to transmit the disease.

Rabies has many faces, but they are all deadly—once a horse shows clinical signs, the animal invariably dies within a few days as there is no treatment.

The good news is that modern vaccines are highly effective and current AAEP recommendations list rabies as one of the “core vaccines” that should be given to all horses annually to maintain immunity (read the full AAEP vaccination guidelines here: https://aaep.org/guidelines/vaccination-guidelines).

Equine rabies is a real risk for all horses, and a public health concern as well. Be sure to set up a regular vaccination schedule with your veterinarian if you haven’t already done so. Remember that strange behavior on behalf of your equine friend is always a valid reason to check in with your horse doctor!

"why the timing of your aids is so crucial. You must know at what point during the stride to use your aids so the horse can react."

Communicate with your horse successfully by timing your aids to the sequence of his gaits for harmonious movement.

As temperatures drop, the risk of barn fires rises dramatically. Winter brings unique challenges for horse owners and barn managers, making fire safety a critical focus during this time of year. However, barn fire prevention should be a year-round commitment.
