[RC] traveling INTO Ca. for rides? - Jonni JewellIf you are going to travel INTO Calif. from another state, they now require coggins to be within the last six months. Here is the web link, and I snipped the text from Equines. Jonni http://www.aphis.usda.gov/vs/sregs/ca.html Horses & Other Equidae All equidae must be accompanied by an official Health Certificate or Certificate of Veterinary Inspection stating that they are free from evidence of any communicable disease and have completed equine infectious anemia (EIA) test requirements. Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) A negative test for EIA conducted in a USDA approved laboratory, within six months prior to entry. Entry is not allowed until the EIA test has been completed and reported negative. Equidae with tests "pending" are not acceptable. A nursing foal of less than 6 months of age accompanied by its EIA negative dam is exempt from the test requirement. California "working horses" used for seasonal ranching purposes outside of California are exempt from the above listed requirements, if a prior permit is obtained from the Animal Health Branch. ============================================================ The very essence of our sport is doing the trail as quickly as practicable, while keeping one's horse fit to continue. Taking the clock out of the equation makes it another sport altogether. The challenge is how to keep the sport what it is while honing our skills (both as riders and as those in control roles) in detecting where "the edge" is for each horse so that we don't cross it. ~ Heidi Smith ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
