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.....
