==========================================

Does everybody know that you have to get a number from your vet to cross 
Illinois state line????  This was started to regulate where the horses were 
going to & coming from to halt the spread of diseases, possible terrorists 
activity, (spread hoof & mouth) or worse.

I had heard about this but it used to last for 30 days, now you have to have 
this number 72 hours before you leave.  For those riding in Illinois this can 
become a problem.  Some camp grounds are wondering where all of the riders are. 
If you decide on the weekend lets go train at such & such trail & it is just 
across the line into Illinois you don't have time to get this number from your 
vet.  Can everyone see the problems this is causing? Or could cause?  We all 
need to be calling, writing to the proper authorities, departments to get some 
change here, it is & will be effecting our riding of the trails.  What if some 
of the other states decide to incorporate this, like Kentucky??????  Also 
remember you have to get this number from a veterinarian.  We already have to 
have coggins & health certificates, do you see vets charging a fee to issue 
this number, at the last minute, they could.

Just some thoughts for everyone.
