What most people do not consider is the other ramifications of the existing
laws. The main transportation vector, as agreed by USFS field personnel, is
mechanical. The soles of shoes, vehicular tires, etc. Therefore there is a
beginning trend that road construction and maintenance equipment used on
USFS lands ( and BLM and State lands also) must be cleaned and inspected
prior to use. This could be (and has been at Yellowstone Park) carry over to
your horse trailer.<<<<<

        Hey! (or Hay!) -- what about the INSIDES of the horse?  Seems to me
that if the horse had been eating "weedy" hay within "X" hours, the horse
would be a very effective "carrier"
