Enter the date of the last booster for each vaccine to find the next due dates, and follow your horse's seasonal deworming calendar.
Enter the date of the last injection (or last booster) for each relevant vaccine. The calendar works out the recommended due date and the latest date not to exceed.
Flu + Tetanus
Most common combined vaccine; booster on the flu schedule (mandatory for FFE/FEI competition)
Rhinopneumonitis (herpesvirus)
Advised in group settings and for pregnant mares
Enter at least one date above to see the due dates.
For the adult horse, we no longer deworm “blind” on fixed dates: the best practice is targeted deworming: 2 to 4 treatments a year, targeted thanks to the faecal egg count (dropping analysis). This is what limits the development of resistance to dewormers. Here are the reference seasonal windows.
February – March
Small strongyles
Selective treatment, after a faecal egg count (threshold > 200 eggs/g). End of winter.
June – July
Small and large strongyles
For all horses out at grass, at the height of the grazing season.
August – September
Small strongyles, possibly tapeworms
Selective treatment after a faecal egg count, depending on the result.
November – December
Strongyles, tapeworms and bots
For all horses: tapeworms and bots don't show up in a faecal egg count, so they are treated in a targeted way at the end of the year.
Young horses (1 to 3 years) are dewormed more often (systematic treatments 3 to 4 times a year). The choice of actives and dates is decided with your vet, based on the faecal egg counts and the horse's way of life.
This tool helps you anticipate due dates from general protocols (see Sources and method below). It does not replace your vet: age, region, way of life and the horse's status (foal, pregnant mare, group living) change the protocol. Always set your vaccination and deworming plan with your vet, and keep the vaccination record up to date.
Vaccines and dewormers rely on dates not to be missed, often shared between several people who look after the horse. With GaloPlan, every care event is logged in a shared activity log and vet appointments appear in the whole team's calendar.
This tool invents no values: it applies protocols from recognized veterinary and institutional references. Each rule used is listed below with its source.

These protocols are general frameworks: they do not replace the individual plan set with your vet, the only person able to adapt vaccines and dewormers to your horse.
The three main ones are equine flu, tetanus and rhinopneumonitis (herpesvirus). Flu is mandatory to compete (FFE/FEI). Tetanus, although not mandatory, is strongly advised because the disease is almost always fatal. In practice, flu and tetanus are most often given together via a combined vaccine: you then follow the flu schedule (booster every 6 months, 12 months maximum).
The primary course is two injections 21 to 92 days apart, followed by a third 5 to 6 months later. After that, a booster is recommended every 6 months (12 months maximum). For competition, flu is mandatory and follows the federation's rules.
For an adult horse, so-called “targeted” deworming means treating 2 to 4 times a year, ideally after a faecal egg count (dropping analysis). We no longer deworm systematically and blind: that's what limits the development of resistance to dewormers. Young horses (1 to 3 years) are dewormed more often.
Yes, in the adult it is the good practice: you treat if the faecal egg count shows more than 200 eggs per gram of dropping. Note that tapeworms and bots are not detected by the faecal egg count: they are treated in a targeted way, usually in autumn or at the end of the year.
No. It helps you anticipate due dates, but the exact protocol depends on age, way of life, region and your horse's status (pregnant mare, foal, group living…). Always set the vaccination and deworming plan with your vet.
