Susan stated, " I just got back from bringing Dakota
home from the trainer's in California and at both the AZ/Utah border and the
Utah/Colorado border,
they're *really* checking out horse's health
certificates, date on the Coggins, brand inspections, etc. Every time I've
traveled before, I just walked into the inspection station office holding an
envelope and they waved
me on out. This time they were really
looking. I commented on it to the officer at the counter and he said there
were too many people just letting those things slide and they were starting to
crack down."
Susan--Did any
one of them ever walk out and actually look at your horse? I have always
gone to the trouble and expense of getting all the travel documents and hay
certifications, only to have the officer look at the paper work (at most) but
never look to see of the horse in the trailer is the gray mare on the papers or
a black stallion. In talking to many, they would not know the
difference. The Canadian border was the only place I have found
knowledgeable officers.
