I've just realised that my mare was due her annual vaccination two months ago. Will I need to restart the course or is it okay if the vaccine is given 14 months after the last one? She's just a happy hacker, so I'm not too worried about her catching something.

TIA X

They ran short of vaccine last year and vets were saying a delay of several months was ok, so as long as you don't affiliate you should be fine.

Thank you

Do people give their horses a day of after receiving the vaccine?

Mine tend to react a bit so I have no choice to give a few days off, but in the past, I understood it’s ok to work gently, but they shouldn’t get sweaty. No idea if that’s right, but they were always ok with a gentle hack.

I think they just need not to sweat heavily

As above, if you don't compete it won't really matter.
But if you do (even unaffiliated - the places around me do properly check the history) then you will need to restart.
My guys are fine to ride the day after, although I keep it to a gentle hack.
