with horses
This was on another group I belong to and I thought it might
be important information for anyone crossing over into canada to make
sure their health certificates are under 30 days old ...
Brent and 5 other cowboys crossed
Sunday about 1am to go to Ontario
for a IPRA rodeo..... Their health papers, coggins, vaccination record was
checked ...and they were sent on their merry way.....
8pm...SAME DAY coming back to the US... they are
again asked for papers....they hand them over..... the border patrol tells them
that all of their papers are fine, except...that the 30 day health certificate.....
that was drawn on July 28.....(should be good until August 28th)
is expired......
What.?? the border patrol tells them that
since July had 31 days....that it expired...
They tell the guy that they want to speak
with someone in charge.....they are detained for over 2 hours...horses in the
trailer....
they ask for a fax, or a vets number.....
some help.... etc.....
they are treated like common criminals....
and at 10:45pm.....DEPORTED to Canada......... LOL
where the Canadians are very
kind...calling a vet....calling a few stables.... Canadians tell them that they
are not sure what they can do to help them..... but to come back at 9am this
am..... and talk to the border vet......
couldn't find a vet, nor a stable.... soo
they had to leave the poor horse in a 2 horse trailer all night.....
So..... hubby is officially a
"Canadian" ..HAHAHAH
he is on his way back to the border
to see what they can do........ sigh....
any of the Canadians on
the list want to adopt 4 cowboys...and one horse....LOL
anyway...just wanted to share that
story...about crossing with horses.....
