I cant translate that well enough to understand the question. That said its up to the owner if they choose to vaccinate, just as it is if you choose to vaccinate other animals.

I have the ridden one vaccinated purely so we dont have restrictions at shows, however the old ones who are retired aren't.

I think the madness over flu atm is just that, madness.

I'm also not sure what you're saying.

If your horses are vaccinated then they're protected so what is your concern about the others? Just because they aren't vaccinated doesn't mean they have flu, and if they don't have it they can't pass it on. Unless it's your own yard then you can't insist on other people vaccinating, and they may have god reason not to. I don't vaccinate mine because he has had two bad reactions to the vaccine I feel it's too high risk for him.
