[woodlandswow]

hi, just wondering as i have never been around when its happened.. i know the vet will tell me all, but need to plan my day tomorrow as i have a lot to fit in.. .. are they ok to ride straight after, are they stiff?? where is the jab done? ,.. thanks for any info x

Jab is done in the neck, I never ride that day as you are advised not to sweat up the site for the following 24 hrs or so so I just plan in a rest day then.

my horse had his jabs a couple of weeks ago. I rode straight after his jabs.The vet okayed it,but said I must make it a gentle ride and not allow him to get sweaty at all. He was fine and never had any problems from being ridden immediately either.

Just had mine done this morning and he said not to ride for the rest of the day.

I have ridden on the morning before but my vet always says not to ride straight after and to only have a gentle hack the next day.... No sweating...

Depends on how your horse reacts.
Most are fine to just be gently exercised as long as they don't sweat.
My mare has a reaction and is very dopey for a few days so she needs about 5-7 days off after a jab.
Each horse is different.

I always give a day or two off and just a gentle hack for a day or two.
