This is simply not true.  Here in Colorado and I'm sure in Wyoming also, we
have a lot of out-of-state hunters, for example, who bring in horses.  In
the 2005 Hunting Guide the Colorado law for bringing in/using horses is
clearly stated: "You must contact a veterinarian to get a Certificate of
Health Inspection within 30 days before horses enter Colorado. Horses also
need a Coggins Blood Test for equine infectous anemia within a year before
coming here.  Call Colorado State Veterinarian's Office, (303) 239-4161. 
Residents: (meaning COLORADO  residents) Horses may require brand inspection 
before transportation. Call brand inspector. (303) 294-0895."
This is the number for the Colorado brand inspector...each county has one of
its own.  The law for Colorado residents is that any time a horse is
transported within the state more than 75 miles one way from its domicile 
it
must have a brand inspection (which has nothing to do with whether it is
branded or not, by the way).  To avoid having to pay $15.00 every time a
horse is hauled this distance, most of us purchase a lifetime brand
inspection which is good as long as we own the horse...when the horse is
sold, another brand inspection must be done and so on.
Residents of non-brand inspection states are not required to have their
horses brand inspected to come into Colorado, only if you decide to move
here permanently. If it is different in other brand inspection states, I 
would like for  someone to send me the information on the state law that 
says so.
