This link is a personal opinion, but is the easiest way to
get you to the NAIS plan. Read his take, but be sure you go to the government
link on NAIS and the “Draft Strategic Plan” menu item he
references. (It’s a PDF file and takes a while to load)
Considering how porous our borders are right now, I think
registering our “premises” and each of our animals (including
chickens) with the government is a “slight” overkill. JMHO.
This is just “heads up” info on where we’re
going with this….think lots of bureaucracy, paperwork and probably more
$$$$ to own and travel with your horse in the near future. Note that Tennessee is already “voluntarily”
implementing this. North Carolina
is implementing some of this as part of the Southeastern states “Event
Permit”. Note that in NC if you chip, YOU must carry a chip reader.
