"6-way" means very little--it can be against any number of combinations. You should rather look at exactly what vaccines are recommended and look for 1 or two vaccines that protect against all of the diseases on the list of recommendations rather than just looking for a "6-way".
That depends on the particular vaccine. Vaccine producers make vaccines that are effective at preventing different groups of vaccines. "5-way" just means that the vaccine protects against 5 different diseases, but you have to read the label of each particular 5-way to determine what it provides protection against.

What vaccinations are required for horses in California?
To the best of my knowledge, there are no legally required vaccines for equids in California. However, individual shows, events or stables may require certain vaccines such as those for rabies, strangles, West Nile Virus, EEE/WEE/VEE, herpesvirus, etc. The AAEP (American Association of Equine Practitioners, the core association for equine veterinarians) advocates that all horses should receive Rabies, Tetanus, West Nile Virus, Easter, Western and possibly Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis vaccines. Depending upon your horse's individual risk profile and geographic location, other vaccines may also be recommended by your veterinarian.
What is an organized vaccine schedule for a horse with only the needed vaccines?
That depends on the horse's age, location (country, state, even county), reproductive status, use and management/stabling.

This is why it is important to contact an equine veterinarian to have an appropriate vaccination regimen designed based on each horse's risk factors.

Can you administer the horses the shots yourself or have to have vet do it?
You can administer shots yourself in general, however you need to know what vaccines are necessary and when it is appropriate to give them. You also need to know how to recognize an adverse reaction. In some states, you cannot administer rabies vaccinations yourself. Many shows/facilities will not recognize owner administered vaccines, as well.If you choose to give vaccinations yourself, you should be aware that vaccine handling affects the safety and effectiveness of vaccines. When purchasing vaccines from pet supply or vet supply stores, the chance that vaccines have not been adequately handled increases because they have been shipped more than once.
