My new mini is coming home in two weeks as a 4 month old.

I spoke to the breeder and he said he doesn’t vaccinate any of his horses, which means the mother also hasn’t been vaccinated.

I know I want to vaccinate, what vaccines should I be looking at giving and when?

Thanks for your input
 
Talk to your vet about what is appropriate for his age and your area.
That said, don't give minis the large combo shots such at 7-way shots, it's too much for them at one time. They still get the same size dose, just break up the shots and give individual shots spaced out at least a week. So, instead of a 7-way, give them a 3-way and a 4-way that cover the same thing. Where I live, and having a pretty closed herd, I just give 3-way or 4-way shot (Sleeping sickness and tetanus basically).
