RE: [RC] ???coggins/health certificate??? - Laurie Underwood

I also copy my horse’s Coggins and have them certified as true and correct by a notary.  I keep one in the trailer and one on me.

Some states require a Coggins to even "move" your horse. FL is one. Some forest rangers and wildlife officiers have started to interperted that to mean you need to carry your Coggins when you ride off your property. However, other rangers wildlife officiers will tell you it is only when moving them in a trailer.

Talk about a confusing. I did get a warning ticket from a wild life officier in a state forest last year because I didn't have my Coggins on me when I was riding. When my vet printed my Coggins this year, I had him print (and sign) four per page along with the normal 1 per page and I laminated the 1/4 size and carry it in my saddle bag. Pretty small print but that's not my problem - I have it.

Things vary across our great country.  Check with your local vet, or on the web at your state animal health site.  Some states (generally in the areas with high EIA) require coggins for all rides.  Some states only required if crossing state lines.  All states require interstate health papers or something similar to cross state lines.  Generally interstate health papers are good for 30 days.  Some states (basically out west) require "brand" inspection to leave your county.  Note: brand inspection has nothing to do with "brands".  It basically produces a piece of paper (good for a year or for as long as you own the horse depending on money spent) that proves you own the horse.  Sort of like an auto registration paper.  Some states (Montana, and IL at least) require permit numbers on the interstate health papers for entry or reentry. 

 

A bit of a mess?  You bet, but one has to follow the law.
