But you wouldn't be wrong if you always had the Coggins and health cert, right?  It just might be over-kill (at least in cases like Washington and Oregon).  So if you were uncertain of the laws in any particular state, you'd be safe if you had it.  Except for that pesky brand inspection!

Uh, actually, no it isn't.  Coggins requirements are set by the individual states.  And some states have reciprocal agreements whereby horses can go back and forth between those specific states without one (but with a health certificate).  Oregon and Washington have such a reciprocal agreement.
