Accoring the the FL state vets office (I checked with them before I went 
out west the first time) - it is not necessary as long as you have 
positive ID. Just because they made you do it doesn't mean you had to - 
although it was a hell of a lot easier to pay a few buck to avoid the 
hassle. That's what I would have done, and then file a complaint when I 
got back home ;-) .

When I approached a MT brand inspector about getting one - he said I 
didn't need one (although I was going to pay him to do it) since FL was 
not a brand inspection state. So my guy says you don't need it and your 
guy said you do. Sounds like WY and NV made some money off of you.  I've 
pretty much traveled all over the intermountain west, had to show health 
papers a couple of times, coming into UT on I80 at the POE, coming into 
CO from UT (VS outbreak). I stopped at the POE into WY on I25 where they 
told me I didn't need to stop unless I was selling the horses in WY. 
With health certificate and Coggins in hand - not once did the word 
brand inspection come up.
