Excitement grows as I leave my pickup in the darkness.  I try to be stealthy as I feel my way through the dark woods and somehow navigate my way into the area I had scouted weeks before. Anticipation is high as I sit waiting for the first light to start breaking over the horizon.  As it gets light enough to make out the trees around me, I hear the first toms sound off from a nearby roosting tree. As it gets closer to fly down time, I give a quick hen yelp on my call which is immediately answered by the thundering gobble of a nearby tom.  I live for mornings like this.

Providing year-round protection for your horse against preventable problems can help you avoid expensive vet bills or even the tragic loss of your horse. One of the simplest ways to protect your horse is to keep vaccinations and parasite control up-to-date during the course of the year. We've all heard the arguments against vaccinating, and we interviewed a local vet about some of those here, but for those of us who will be vaccinating this year, we need to make sure we are up to date, not just on the actual yearly vaccines, but also the boosters you need (especially with younger horses). We asked Zoetis Animal Health about to tell us what their year-round routine would be, starting at spring when the change in season can increase threa...
