EEE Update from Alan Weldon, DVM
I would change the recommendation from a 9 month booster to every 6 months. The immune response to a vaccine is similar to a bell curve...low at the beginning then peaking in the middle and then waning towards the end. Having lower protective antibodies in the last few months leaves the horse at risk.

Higher hay prices in 2008. Choose the best forage option for your horses
The USDA has released several crop reports that indicate the number of hay acres will be down in 2008; also reported that the existing hay supply is lower than previous years. This information, combined with higher input costs (fuel, fertilizer, land rent), will likely lead to increased hay prices. Remember that horses need roughage just like everyone else-in fact, they need much more. Fifty to 100 percent of a horse's diet should be forage of some sort.
