I'm not picking on your decision at all, but I would like to point out that to think that since something hasn't happened yet, it's not going to happen is faulty logic.
If my horse has (I am making this up) a 1/10 change of getting Unruly Ear Disease this year unless I vaccinate, he'll presumably have the same chance next year and by the time 10 years have elapsed without protection it would be very likely he would have gotten it at some point. No real disease is that prevalent, but the probability does increase as time elapses all other factors being equal. (Of course, limiting exposure is a factor one can control).
