I know of two that were brought from the west (one from MT, the other 
from AZ) to FL. The biggest problem was skin problems. One would have 
yearly bouts with rain rot, scratches, etc. and he seemed to have far 
more problems than the horses that were raised with the humidity and 
fungus we have back here. He really didn't out grow it.

The other also had skin problems but it seemed to be more related to 
reactions to the insects we have which would cause him to break out. 
He's only been hear a year now so he may out grow it.

So if anything I'd be concerned and keep an eye on skin problems.
